Staff on TAFE Boards

In carrying out their public function, TAFE Boards are accountable to the Minister for Training and Skills, who is accountable to Parliament and the community for the performance of TAFE. 

In overseeing the performance of the Boards, the Minister is supported by the Higher Education and Skills Group of the Department of Education and Training (the Department). The Boards are required from time to time, to provide information required by the Department to prepare advice for the Minister.
