With great member support, ITECA is lobbying government to put students at the heart of a high-performing skills training sector that’s underpinned by independent RTOs. With official data showing that independent RTOs across New South Wales support 85.5% of the 1,255,445 student enrolments in skills training, it's a sound basis for policy reform.

These meetings are proudly brought to you by the Independent Tertiary Education Council Australia (ITECA), a growing community of independent skills training and higher education providers united by a shared commitment to excellence.
