Our Plan Guidance provides an outline of what we will look for when assessing your Plan.

This edition is largely the same as last year's Plan Guidance, and reflects our move away from administrative compliance, towards activities that make a difference for learners and tertiary educators.

Key updates include information on:

• how we’ll be using funding to deliver on the shifts in our Investment Briefs
• changes to the Plan round timeline
• requirements for industry training organisations (ITOs)
• new information tools, including updated and enhanced post-study outcomes data
• the careers system strategy and micro-credentials.
