Background Government funding of VET 2019 provides insight into the flow of funding in the public VET sector, including what is funded and how funding is distributed. Funding is provided through VET appropriations and VET intergovernmental funding arrangements. The information in this report is derived from the National VET Funding Collection, which was introduced in 2017 to replace the National VET Finance Collection. The scope for each collection is different and therefore data from the two collections cannot be directly compared. Data are sourced from financial and training records held by the Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment, and state and territory departments responsible for VET.
