The National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) was contracted by the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) to undertake a first systematic review of research related to the topic of mature-aged workers. The contract included the development of a replicable framework and infrastructure for further systematic reviews of research. This report reflects the process undertaken in developing a model for systematic reviews of research in vocational education and training (VET) in Australia. The report discusses the process undertaken for each step in the NCVER model and what was learnt from this process to aid future systematic reviews. The eight steps identified for the NCVER model are: identifying the question; developing a framework; searching for studies; selection of relevant studies; appraising quality of selected studies; synthesising the findings; presenting and disseminating the findings of the systematic review to stakeholders.
