Threats to TAFE NSW

There is an urgent need to ensure TAFE NSW effectively fund the ongoing provision of second chance and further education opportunities for disadvantaged people and their communities.

VET reforms are resulting in severe cuts to  TAFE NSW education and training programs that build stronger metropolitan, rural and remote communities across NSW. Specialist units such as Multicultural, Outreach Place Based programs, Disabilities, Language, Literacy and Numeracy, General Education, Counselling, and Aboriginal programs are threatened. These changes undermine the Australian Government Social Inclusion initiatives where communities Learn to Work, Engage and Have a voice.
