Governance and regulation
Governance of Australia's vocational education and training (VET) sector is through a network of Commonwealth and state and territory governments. In the wake of COVID-19, a new governance structure was put in place which saw the cessation of the COAG Skills Council and the formation of the Skills National Cabinet Reform Committee. The chart below shows the current governance and regulatory bodies. Historical information about former COAG Ministerial Councils and their advisory bodies is provided in the MINCO to CISC timeline. For a listing of Australian Prime Ministers, federal skills ministers and the Commonwealth departments responsible for skills and training from 1992 to the present, see the Governing VET in Australia timeline. For federal VET-related legislation, see the VET legislation timeline.
