TasTAFE Legislative Review
TasTAFE has a critical role to play in providing vocational education and training (VET) that leads to jobs, and that benefits the Tasmanian economy and community.
The Tasmanian Government’s objective for TasTAFE is to provide responsive and innovative VET tailored to the needs of industries and businesses, with learners at the centre of all activity.
The TasTAFE (Skills and Training Business) Act 2021 provides for three reviews at specified intervals of six months, 30 months and six years from commencement of the Act on 1 July 2022.
The six-month review into the implementation of the Act was released on 30 March 2023 and is available.
The 30-month legislative review is an independent review into:
- the operation of the Act, and the scope and potential scope of the Act, since its commencement; and
- the operation of TasTAFE, and its organisational and administrative structure, under the Act.
The 30-month legislative review is being conducted by a Review Panel comprising:
- Dr Bronte Adams (Chair)
- Mr Mat Rowell
The Terms of Reference for the review set out the context and scope of the review.
Interested parties are invited to make a written submission to the Review Panel.
