In December 2009, the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) asked that a business case be prepared for the introduction of a national unique student identifier (USI) for the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector.
A preparatory business case was considered by COAG in February 2011, resulting in COAG requesting that a final business case be prepared. The final business case was considered by SCOTESE in November 2011 and endorsed for COAG consideration.
This Regulation Impact Statement has been prepared in support of COAG’s consideration of this issue early in 2012. Comments and submissions are sought from interested parties.
Comments are invited by submission to:
Department of Industry, Innovation, Science Research and Tertiary Education.
