Labor promises more free TAFE eligibility

Free TAFE courses will become available to all Victorians if the Labor government is re-elected, regardless of their prior skills or qualifications. The open eligibility will apply to the current list of free TAFE courses and any new courses added to the program in the future.

An extra two million Victorians are expected to become eligible for the free courses under the changes. The state government will also invest up to $170 million to build new TAFE campuses at Sunbury and Melton and improve existing sites across the state.

The government would also introduce legislation guaranteeing 70% of VET funding goes to TAFE each year.
