Q1: Are there other design considerations that could further strengthen Jobs and Skills Australia's ability to provide advice to government?
-
Response:
Within the VET sector it would be useful to have a national consistency in the provision of government funding to support jobs and skills training. As an example within Victoria, funding is available for a Certificate III in Non-Emergency Patient Transport and Certificate IV in Health Care however no funding is available in states such as NSW and WA. NPT Heart (RTO 40901) is a subsidiary of National Patient Transport Pty Ltd who provides patient transport solutions for health services in Vic, NSW and WA. This is a growing sector and relies on quality training to ensure patient safety and the quality of care. Due to limited funding in NSW and Vic, it is a barrier of entry for prospective employees to gain a new qualification.
