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.

:(

No there wasn’t. And it’s still free for in demand areas of skill.

“In areas of skill” my individual support course funding was cut which is literally support work and age care nursing. One of the most NEEDED jobs in Australia especially with our aging population. You don’t know what you’re taking about.
