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 September 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) > .  \nWhile Fee-Free TAFE activity falls within scope of reporting, it is not separately collected and therefore cannot be identified in the data.

This represents a decrease of 72,225 (6.6%) from the same period in 2024. Student numbers in all states and territories decreased except South Australia (up 2,615 (4.0%) to 67,915), and Western Australia,(up 1,875 (1.6%) to 118,190) .  \nThe type of training undertaken can be categorised by the hierarchy shown in Figure 1.
