Overview
In the Vocational Education and Training (VET) in Australia,
"loadings" refer to additional funding provided to training providers
for delivering training to specific groups of students who require additional
support to succeed in their studies. These loadings are designed to assist
students who may face barriers to completing their training, such as students
with disabilities, students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and students
from regional or remote areas.
Loadings are a form of targeted funding, and they are
intended to help ensure that all students have access to quality vocational
education and training, regardless of their individual circumstances. The
specific loadings available may vary depending on the state or territory where
the training is being delivered, and the type of qualification being pursued.
NOTE: Refer to your State Training Authority for a
full list of all available loadings and their percentages whenever creating
your Loadings template. For Queensland, training delivered in country, remote, Cape
York and Torres Strait regions of the state will attract a location loading in
addition to the government contribution.
We will be using the following lists for Loadings: User
