Smart and Skilled Started 1 January 2015 in NSW

“Smart and Skilled” is Coming!

“Smart and Skilled” is a reform of the New South Wales Government and commenced 1 January 2015. It brings changes to the way people can do a qualification.

New price and fee arrangments for government subsidised qualifications will be in place.

The new fee arrangement will allow 46,000 more students to be trained in 2015. The Fees will vary depending on the qualification.

The Government will continue to heavily subsidise the cost of obtaining a qualification. Training is a “Shared investment”. Students benefit from better jobs and wages and the community benefits from a skilled economy.

There will be fee exemptions and concessions for disadvantaged learners and in regional and remote areas.
