Review into VET Training Products with Low or No Enrolments
Last updated: 15 October 2025
Commencement date: February 2025
End date: TBA
Overview
This project will conduct a comprehensive review of enrolment data from 2019 to 2023 to identify training products with low or no enrolments from the following training packages:
We will engage with stakeholders to determine the root causes of the enrolment trends and explore potential solutions to address these issues.
Consultation & Feedback
We invite feedback from all stakeholders including industry, registered training organisations (RTOs), unions, peak bodies and associations, government departments, training authorities, assurance bodies and other Jobs and Skills Councils.
The consultation will explore the:
- outcomes of the low or no enrolments analysis and initial consultation
- suitability of existing training products to meet the needs of industry and registered training organisations (RTOs)
- reasons for low or no enrolments in FNS, ICT or BSB training products
- potential impacts on current learners if these products were removed from the National Training Register
- factors that may impact the ability of an RTO to offer these products
- intention of RTOs to add these products to scope.
Consultation dates are yet to be set. To register your interest please email TPD@futureskillsorganisation.com.au
