We invest over $3 billion into tertiary education each year. We fund over 700 TEOs, who provide thousands of courses to hundreds of thousands of learners. We’re working in partnership with TEOs and the sector, the community and industry, to improve outcomes for learners. We also work closely with other agencies to support TEOs.
