VET REGULATOR A GIANT STEP TOWARDS A TRULY
NATIONAL TRAINING SYSTEM
Statement by Heather Ridout
Chief Executive Australian Industry Group
"The COAG decision to create a new, independent national regulator for the
Vocational Education and Training (VET)
sector is a significant reform that will give
clearer and better quality outcomes for both individuals and businesses," Australian
Industry Group (Ai Group) Chief Executive Heather Ridout said today.
"It is a giant step towards having a truly national, well-regulated training system which
will deliver clear and consistent results for all. It will also have a big impact on
companies and individuals working across borders.
"Whilst Victoria
and
Western Australia
will not be formally part of the new regulator,
the fact that those states are passing mirror legislation will ensure that we have
nationally consistent regulation," Mrs Ridout said.
