While the federal budget last night brought welcome spending on support for domestic and family violence and on preschools, it failed to deliver for state schools and TAFE.

TAFE Executive highlights the big issues

Print and display this poster calling on the governments to "Rebuild with TAFE"

Governments across the country are being asked to make TAFE their first priority, as Australia looks to rebuild from the COVID-19 pandemic and tackle its skills crisis.

The beginning of 2021 has seen some changes within the QTU. As you would already know, Kate Ruttiman has been elected to the position of General Secretary of the QTU. Cresta Richardson and Leah Olsson have been elected as QTU President and Vice-President respectively. I feel confident in expressing congratulations to all three on behalf of the TAFE Division.

New federal campaign "Rebuild With TAFE"

Research has found that almost all Australians feel it’s important that federal funding for TAFE is increased in order to help recovery from the recession.

The public providers will have to clear up the mess left by the collapse of All Trades, the latest private RTO to go under, and as usual there will be insufficient funding available to bridge the inevitable gaps and partial completions.
