Personal Explanation

WorkReady

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for the Public Sector) (11:04): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE: Last sitting week, I referred to the circumstances for students undertaking components of a certificate III qualification under the training guarantee for SACE students (TGSS). In reviewing my answer, I realise that I may not have provided sufficient detail to clearly distinguish between conditions for students undertaking a certificate II and a certificate III.

Certificate II courses of high public value are fee free to TGSS students through funding by the Department of State Development and this will continue. TGSS certificate III courses are subsidised at different rates by the Department of State Development. The funding for these courses is generally less than the full course cost. In practice, however, the components of a TGSS certificate III undertaken by SACE students are usually fee free to the student through a combination of procurement processes and payment of any remaining gap by government schools. These arrangements will continue and, as I said, I will be asking the education department to monitor any anomalies that may arise.
