DESCRIPTION


This collection gathers information on the finance and expenditure of Australia's public vocational education and training (VET) system. Data pertaining to revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are provided for Australia, the eight states and territories, and for the VET operations of the Australian Government Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST). Financial data are prepared on an accrual basis, and reported at historical values. Agreed standardised accounting policies and standards are used.

Scope


The collection focuses on vocational education and training institutions administered or provided by the main training department within each state and territory, the other public training providers in those jurisdictions, and DEST. It includes the VET Divisions of four Victorian public universities, and the VET programs within two Western Australian public universities. Public funding for training delivery, paid to private providers by training authorities or departments, is also in-scope. Information sought includes revenues and expenses; assets, liabilities, and equities; and cash flows.
