Fee-Free TAFE Skills Agreement
This Schedule establishes shared funding arrangements between the Commonwealth and states and territories (the States) to deliver fee-free TAFE places in agreed areas of priority.
Through Fee Free TAFE, support will be available for priority groups including First Nations Australians, young people (17-24), people out of work or receiving income support, unpaid carers, women facing economic insecurity, women undertaking study in non-traditional fields, people with disability and certain categories of visa holders.
This agreement will put TAFE at the centre of VET, while recognising varied State delivery contexts.
