National VET Equity Advisory Council

As agreed by Ministers at the meeting of the Ministerial Council for Vocational and Technical Education (MCVTE) in November 2008, the new National VET Equity Advisory Council (NVEAC) has been established to replace the Advisory Alliance and the three National Vocational Education and Training Advisory Taskforces (Equity, Disability and Indigenous) as the national advisory structure for equity groups.

NVEAC will provide high-level advice on matters relevant to improving the participation in VET and achievement of students from equity groups in VET, and the performance of the national VET system in support of such students

NVEAC will meet for the first time on Thursday 13 August in Melbourne. Attached is further information on the new Council and its members, as well as a link to the NVEAC website.

The secretariat for the new Council is managed by TVET Australia.
