Who can access a government-funded place at a vocational education and training provider?
All eligible young people aged between 15 and 19 years have an entitlement to an education or training place at a vocational education and training provider for any government-subsidised qualification, subject to admission requirements and course availability. To meet the eligibility requirements for a government-subsidised place in vocational education and training, a student must be either: • an Australian citizen • an Australian Permanent Resident (holder of a permanent visa) • a holder of a Special Category Visa (sub-class 444, New Zealand citizen) • an East Timorese asylum seeker, or • a holder of a Temporary Protection Visa. Students should contact their provider directly for questions about government funded training.
