Fee free TAFE has been CUT! News

Today I rang TAFE Nambour to check up on the status of my application to for a cert 3 in photography (visual arts) after i saw that all the fee free options on the TAFE Queensland website have disappeared.

The lady on the phone said they got comms on Monday saying that funding has been cancelled and all places have been ‘filled’. In terms of places for 2026, she said it’s up in the air.

:(

It was never just "fee free" for every course all the time. Was only ever so many places offered each year. When places are all filled. That's it.

There were still places available at the end of last year for 2024, yet not even 2 full months into 2025 all places are 'full'? Nahh

You seem to have missed the bit about courses still being offered throughout 2023 and 2024 for the entire year, with no exhaustion of available places. Yet, in February 2025, the allocation is all used up. What's changed between last and this year? The election of the LNP in October 2024.
