Invest in Quality, Invest in TAFE

Only TAFE can deliver the quality training and education Australians need.

But for too long TAFEs across the nation have been forced to do more with less.

New research shows funding has been cut and TAFEs are being forced to turn away thousands of students as a result.

Staff workloads are rising and budgets are falling.

Now is the time for action

We need the Federal Government to take the lead and put a stop to the under-funding of TAFE.

Investing in quality training means investing in TAFE.

It will take $200 million a year more just to meet the ambitious targets COAG has set to increase the proportion of the population with higher level qualifications.

Join in the campaign today

Send a message to Julia Gillard and Wayne Swan letting them know how important it is to increase investment in TAFE in this year's budget.
