Our Vision
Our vision is for TAFE to be recognised as the pre-eminent provider of tertiary education in Australia and as a global standard in vocational education and training.
The priority for TAFE Directors Australia is to continue to demonstrate the power of the TAFE model. Not only in terms of its service across all communities in Australia but also its strong industry focus to bring contemporary skills and vocational education to all students so they can power the workforce and economic recovery.
TAFE Directors Australia will continue to support TAFEs in the post coronavirus environment and work with the Australian Government on finding the best ways to address the unprecedented challenges that face our society. TAFEs are well placed to respond and adapt to the effects of rapid technological change, digitalisation, climate change, demographic trends, and new forms of work. The 2020 COVID year showed us how resilient and innovative TAFEs could be in reshaping their work and driving change.
We also look forward to continuing to work with our partners in Australia and overseas on improving the vocational education sector.

Take a look at this treasured TAFE teacher, 42 years passing on his skills and knowledge. Great work Brendan !
The great thing about our TAFE teachers is that they have worked on the tools.
Just like Brendan from @GordonTAFE, who is passing on his expert pastry skills to the next generation.
If you have the know how, we want you to show how.
