NSW’s VET Review has taken another step in the right direction – according to stakeholders – due to a recent symposium.
The symposium was attended by unions, government agencies, providers and other stakeholders looking to improve VET education in the state.

“There is not an aspect of our day-to-day lives that isn’t supported by VET,” NSW Skills and TAFE Minister Steve Whan said.
“By re-building the sector, we are also transforming communities and upskilling the next generation of tradies, healthcare professionals, and agriculture workers.”
A final version of the review is due in mid 2024.
It’s being led by:
- Dr. Michele Bruniges
- Verity Firth, the former Education Minister and Pro-Vice Chancellor (Social Justice and Inclusion) at the University of Technology, Sydney
- Jason Ardler, a Yuin man and chair of the National Indigenous Australians Agency’s Indigenous Evaluation Committee, as well as a director of the NAISDA Indigenous performing arts college
“A resilient VET system is underpinned by productive and robust engagement across industry, government, and education providers,” Dr Bruniges said.
