Community and non-profit funding for RTOs

State and territory governments provide funding for programs that address regional, industrial and social needs. Such programs fund training that:

  • support growth in emerging industries and expand delivery of vocational education and training relevant to industry skill needs
  • encourage training in community groups such as Indigenous communities, youth or people living regional Australia
  • improves access to training for people with disabilities or from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Thin markets

In addition, state and territory training authorities will fund registered training organisations (RTOs) in order to alleviate ‘thin markets’, that is where the relative demand for vocational education and training (VET) is low. Thin markets can mean learners in certain areas have limited choices in the availability of specific courses. 

Depending on the program, state and territory training authorities can allocate funding to RTOs through:

  • competitive tendering or bidding processes
  • direct application and approval processes.

Funding opportunities and application processes differ among the states and territories, and many funding programs run for limited times.

Check with your state or territory training authority for the latest RTO funding initiatives.
