AUSTAFE NATIONAL CONFERENCE

BACKGROUND

AUSTAFE is a national network of Technical and Further Education (TAFE) professionals. Its main focus is on promoting partnerships with all vocational education and training (VET) stakeholders, providing a forum for exchange of views in relation to VET and promoting professional development opportunities for its members.

The major professional development activity for AUSTAFE Chapters and Branches across Australia is the annual National Conference.

The National Conference is hosted on a rotational basis by State and Territory AUSTAFE Chapters or Branches and aims to bring together members, affiliates and interested parties to network and discuss the latest trends, activities, policies and reforms within the Australian Vocational sector.

The 2017 National Conference was hosted by the Qld Chapter of AUSTAFE on the 11th, 12th and 13th October 2017 at TAFE Queensland Brisbane - South Bank Campus.
