Policy initiatives > Budget highlights
Since 1974, the vocational education and training (VET) system in Australia has been jointly funded by the Commonwealth and state and territory governments. Government budgets can be large documents and often include multiple papers. This section of the VET Knowledge Bank aims to make it easier to locate sections that relate to skills and training in Commonwealth, state and territory budgets.
