The Teaching and Learning Capital Fund (TLCF) for Vocational Education and Training (VET) was announced by the Prime Minister on 12 December 2008 as part of the $4.7 billion nation-building infrastructure package to support Australia’s economy.
The TLCF (VET) provided $500 million during the 2009-10 and 2010-11 financial years which was distributed through initiatives focused on modernising and improving the quality of teaching and learning across the vocational education and training sector. Funding for this initiative was provided through the following three program elements:
- Better TAFE Facilities (BTF): $200 million
- Training Infrastructure Investment for Tomorrow: $200 million for eligible applicants and consortia led by eligible applicants
- Investing in Community Education and Training: $100 million for community education and training providers to develop or enhance infrastructure which will allow them to maximise VET delivery or facilitate expansion into VET delivery.
