More skills for more Victorians
It’s now even easier to access Free TAFE courses and government subsidised training, whether it’s to kickstart a new career or upskill in your chosen field.
Since 1 January 2023, more Victorians can access their first Free TAFE course or government subsidised training regardless of their current skills or any qualifications that they already have.
We’ve removed the upskilling rule for access to all government subsidised training and changed the once in a lifetime limit on Free TAFE courses within specific training pathways – including nursing, early childhood, community services and building and construction.
These eligibility changes apply to more than 500 subsidised courses, including 70 Free TAFE courses, making it easier for more people to get the skills they need for the job they want.
