Government Funded Training
Government funded training training is where the government provides the funds for students to complete a certain qualification when all eligibility criteria are met. The student is generally required to pay a tuition contribution fee at the time of enrollment as well as any additional course fees that are relevant, such as for books and other study materials.
Each state has its own funding program, for example:
NSW

VIC

QLD
Skilling Queenslanders for work https://training.qld.gov.au/
SA

TAS
