Contributions of Outputs to Outcome 1

The Australian National Training Authority’s outputs related to the vocational education and training sector reflect the Government’s decision to pursue vocational education and training in partnership with industry and other levels of Government.  

The Annual National Priorities and national key result areas agreed by Commonwealth, State and Territory ministers, act as the general framework for ANTA’s work throughout the year.  Within the framework, the Authority prepares the ANTA Annual Plan, which sets out in detail the work to be undertaken by the Authority during the period.  This Plan, and the report against the Plan, are published in the Authority’s Annual Performance Report in September each year.
