The Albanese government has introduced a swathe of education policies ahead of the next federal election, including a legislative proposal to make Fee-Free TAFE a permanent fixture in Australia’s vocational education landscape, committing to fund 100,000 fee-free TAFE spots annually beginning in 2027.
The move builds on the government’s existing partnerships with states and territories, which funded 180,000 fee-free TAFE places in 2023 and plans for an additional 300,000 places over the next three years.
