The Outcomes Framework will track progress of the VET sector against the 9 Outcomes identified in the National Skills Agreement.
On this page:
This Outcomes Framework is the first of its kind for the VET sector and will increase the ability of governments to track, monitor and respond to changes over the life of the NSA. It will also help to guide strategic conversations between governments on the health of the VET system and progress in achieving the outcomes and national priorities.
More broadly, the Outcomes Framework will support governments to work together to address shared challenges and to capitalise on shared opportunities. This will ensure that the VET system continues to deliver positive outcomes for Australian students through providing pathways to secure, well paid work while building the skills Australia needs now and into the future.
The Outcomes Framework will track progress against the 9 Outcomes identified in the National Skills Agreement through several measures and indicators.
Indicators, measures and targets will be reviewed annually (and maybe revised) over the life of the NSA to ensure they remain relevant and include all community groups, or where data availability for indicators or measures changes. Future iterations may also track data for additional identified equity priority groups and engagement with stakeholders will continue throughout the life of the NSA.
Governments will continue working together through a joint stewardship model. Stewardship describes the intentional collaboration between governments and with stakeholders. It will be guided by a shared vision for the sector and be implemented through agreed outcomes and national priorities.
Over 2025, governments are committed to working with First Nations partners to ensure that the views of First Nations communities are meaningfully included in the Outcomes Framework and that the indicators, measures and targets measure what is relevant to these communities.
