Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2023-03-09.
This bill would update how vocational education and training data is collected, used and shared under the national regulator's act.
It would let the Ministerial Council name another person or body to approve data requirements, and allow the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations' top official to release some training information to the public.
Decisions made by the National VET Regulator to exempt a provider from reporting data under the new rules would not be open to merits review.
- Allows the Ministerial Council to designate an alternative person or body to agree to the Data Provision Requirements.
- Permits the senior official of the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations to make public certain VET training information, excluding personal details except the training provider's name.
- Lets the Secretary issue a determination for collecting, using or disclosing information to build or run a VET data system.
- Provides that administrative decisions by the National VET Regulator on data reporting exemptions will not be subject to merits review.
Registered training organisations, students, government policy makers, VET regulators, researchers, employers, and the Australian Skills Quality Authority.
