AUSTAFE - The Professional Association of TAFE Managers across Australia

AUSTAFE Inc, established in 1984, represents the national network of senior TAFE Managers.  It is a professional association with a commitment to promoting excellence in Vocational and Technical Education. It offers professional support, but not industrial advocacy, for its members.   The primary mission of AUSTAFE is to exert national leadership in support of its members and indirectly the TAFE systems they represent.

AUSTAFE Inc, a National association, serves its members' needs through a range of activities and services organised either by the National Executive or through its state chapters. The state chapters are incorporated in Queensland and NSW.

The Annual AUSTAFE Conference attracts 150-180 participants from the vocational and technical education sector across Australia. These participants include TAFE managers, private providers, VET in Schools and other stakeholders including industry representatives, Group Training Organisations etc. They are involved in VET training from entry level to Advanced Diploma and Vocational Graduate level.

AUSTAFE's focus helps identify broad public interest, challenges and assists members and their institutes/organisations in responding to them.

Success of the Association is measured through its ability to achieve government, industry and community recognition, act as an advocate, develop linkages and serve as a resource to help members and their institutions provide excellent post-secondary education opportunities.
