About TAFE Directors Australia

TAFE Directors Australia (TDA) is the national peak body incorporated to represent Australia’s public Technical and Further Education (TAFE) institutes and the TAFE divisions of dual sector universities. There are 28 TAFE institutes across all states and territories, including six dual sector universities. Nine TAFE institutes are registered as Non-University Higher Education Providers (NUHEPs). TAFEs are the leading providers of vocational education and training (VET) across Australia and is key in delivery of high quality and contemporary vocational education for the nation’s core skilled occupations. Each TAFE on behalf of its state or territory delivers comprehensive tertiary education, spanning technical and further education, senior schooling and higher education. TAFEs engage with local industry and employers and the community to inform delivery. In meeting the education and training needs of their students, the TAFE network serves the needs of Australian industry, enterprises and communities. Australia’s network of TAFE institutes is the largest and most diverse component of our national tertiary education sector, with over 560 delivery locations and campuses located across central business districts, suburban, regional, rural and remote locations. Many institutes offer further services throughout the Asia-Pacific and other offshore regions. The core business of TDA is supporting our member institutes, leading the advocacy for quality skills in Australia, and managing a range of international education and training projects in co-operation with our institutes. TDA was established by TAFE Directors in 1998.
