Government funded VET is defined as all Commonwealth and state or territory governmentfunded training delivered by technical and further education (TAFE) institutes, other government providers (such as universities), private providers and community education providers.  \nData for the Government-funded students and courses series are received in four cumulative submissions across the calendar year. This report covers the period of 1 January to 30 June 2025. Data will be revised following subsequent data submissions made to NCVER throughout the year.  \nAdditional data are available in  DataBuilder \u003C[https://www.ncver.edu.au/research-and](https://www.ncver.edu.au/research-and)  \nstatistics/data/databuilder\\#> ,  VOCSTATS \u003C[https://www.ncver.edu.au/research-and-statistics/vocstats](https://www.ncver.edu.au/research-and-statistics/vocstats) > , and  by request to NCVER \u003C[https://www.ncver.edu.au/research-and-statistics/accessing-vet-data](https://www.ncver.edu.au/research-and-statistics/accessing-vet-data) > .  \nThis publication does not present data on Fee-Free TAFE.

This represents a decrease of 63,320 (6.8%) from the same period in 2024. Student numbers in all states and territories decreased except South Australia, which increased by 2,125 (3.8%) to 57,645 .  \nThe type of training undertaken can be categorised by the hierarchy shown in Figure 1. Each state/territory funds a different mix of training types to meet their jurisdictional needs.  \nFigure 1: Government-funded students by type of training, January to June 2024 and 2025, Australia  \nState/territory Australia  \nNon-nationally recognised VET  \n29,175  \n 15,695 (35.0%)  \nQualifications  \n792,915  \n 55,895 (6.6%)  \nShort courses  \n28,240  \n 13,140 (31.8%)  \nLocally developed programs  \n(with at least one nationally recognised subject)  \n35,510  \n 1,200 (3.5%)  \nTraining package qualifications  \n726,720  \n 53,115 (6.8%)  \nTraining packageskill sets  \n7,585  \n 1,685 (18.2%)  \nSkill sets  \n21,155  \n 3,400 (13.8%)  \nAccredited qualifications  \n72,335  \n 4,090 (5.4%)  \nAccredited courses  \n20,710  \n 11,555 (35.8%)  \nCourses  \n14,515  \n 4,510 (45.1%)  \nNotes:  \nFigures may sum to more than reported totals, as students can enrol in multiple types of training.  \nLocally developed programs that include at least one nationally recognised subject are classified under nationally recognised VET. This is because the inclusion of any nationally recognised subject means that part of the training and assessment aligns with national standards, even if the overall program is not nationally recognised. These programs are shown in light blue and are not included in the total count of nationally recognised programs in this chart.  \nNationally recognised qualifications  \nNationally recognised qualifications comprise the bulk of government-funded training, and include Training package qualifications and Accredited qualifications.  \nStudent numbers  \nThere were 792,915 students in nationally recognised qualifications in Australia in the period January to June 2025. This represents a decrease of 55,895 (6.6%) from the same period in 2024, but an increase of 68,195 (9.4%) from 2019.
