    Vocational training is important for our communities. It helps support local and regional economies. TAFE NSW plays a key role in providing this training across the state. The TAFE NSW Charter sets out our commitments to students, industry and communities. We offer a wide range of qualifications across many industries and sectors.

    Importance of our charter

    The NSW VET Review’s Interim Report of March 2024 recognises vocational training as an important public good. It also highlights the vital role of a strong TAFE NSW as the central public provider in the NSW VET system.

    The TAFE NSW Charter sets out the NSW Government’s expectations of TAFE NSW. It explains our role as the state's public vocational education and training provider. The charter focuses on three key groups: students, industry and communities.

    TAFE NSW provides vocational education and training for the community. We help students build skills, find work and achieve their career goals.

    This supports the NSW Government's commitment to make vocational education and training available to everyone in NSW, no matter their circumstances.
