Independent Review of VET
Template for Stakeholder Comment from
Registered Training Organisations
In response to the recently announced an independent review of VET, the RITC is keen to
represent the views of its stakeholders, from both industry and training providers, in a
submission to Professor Margaret Seares addressing the terms of reference.
The Terms of Reference pick up on a number of key issues for RITC stakeholders, including:
 How training providers will operate in the new environment of the student entitlement
model (which will hopefully lead to a more competitive VET market);
 Sustainability of training providers in regional areas;
 Opportunities for partnerships between State Training Providers, industry,
universities and private training providers; and
 Ensuring streamlined information flows from industry and the VET sector to the
Minister.
Please provide direct feedback to Nigel Haywood at the Resources Industry Training Council
or forward your response to the below questions by Friday 22 November.
Any comments provided in this template will be treated in confidence.
