VOCEDplus help > VET Knowledge Bank FAQs
The VET Knowledge Bank is one of the value-added resources produced by NCVER's Knowledge Management branch. It contains a suite of complementary products that together provide a collected memory of reference information about Australia's vocational education and training system.
The VET Knowledge Bank is available at: https://www.voced.edu.au/vet-knowledge-bank. It can be accessed via the 'Knowledge Bank' menu heading at the top of any VOCEDplus page.
We use the term 'landmark' to refer to documents that have played a significant role in the development of the VET system, providing vision and/or leading to significant reforms or widespread cultural/attitudinal change. The VET Knowledge Bank currently contains 37 documents that are considered to be national landmark documents, presented as a timeline: https://www.voced.edu.au/vet-knowledge-bank-landmark-documents.
The timeline includes a brief statement about each landmark document. We developed a series of thematic overviews that discuss and explain the development of the VET system and outline the different landmark documents that have contributed to this development. These overviews have been written by experts in the field. The thematic icons assigned to each landmark document are hyperlinked to the overviews. The 'Quality' thematic overview is expected to be completed in 2025.
We have listed all the timelines on a single page at: https://www.voced.edu.au/timelines. This page can also be accessed from any VOCEDplus page via the 'Resources' menu.
You can find the Budget highlights in the 'Policy initiatives' section of the VET Knowledge Bank: https://www.voced.edu.au/vet-knowledge-bank-policy-initiatives-budget-highlights.
We use a range of authoritative sources to compile the definitions, and these are then reviewed and checked by the Glossary Editorial team. Where a definition is wholly extracted from a single source, the source is provided within the entry. The downloadable versions of the glossary, found on the Glossary of VET page, include a bibliography of all sources used in compiling the glossary.
