Message from ANTA CEO
The Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) and the Australian Government Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST) are working to achieve a smooth transition of ANTA’s responsibilities to the department for both clients and staff.
This follows the Prime Minister’s announcement 
on 22 October that ANTA is to be abolished from July 2005 and its responsibilities taken into the department.
We are all committed to the world-leading, industry-led national vocational education and training system developed over the past 12 years and our focus is to maintain the continuous improvement of the national training framework. The skills and experience of ANTA staff have made a major contribution to the success of the national system and will continue to be valuable to this ongoing work.
DEST and ANTA are both focused on building the skills of individual Australians to support our ongoing economic prosperity and future as a socially-inclusive nation. Until new arrangements are in place, it will be ‘business as usual’. All stakeholders and ANTA Committees will continue to be supported to our usual high standard.
Both DEST and ANTA will keep stakeholders informed as changes are implemented.
Paul Byrne
Interim chief executive officer
