Abstract:

This paper tells the story of how Australia's national training system has emerged over the last 20 years. It identifies the rationale, objectives and key elements of the training system and outlines the main reforms undertaken between 1992 and mid-2015. It also explores the dynamic tension between consistency and flexibility that exists in the system, including in the recent implementation of the student training entitlement funding model.
