ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Data are presented by the state or territory of the senior secondary assessment authority.

The estimated participation rate is calculated using state of data submitter as a proxy for state of residence due to the high number of records with an unknown residential address.

Data for calculating the participation rate are sourced from the NCVER National VET in Schools Collection, and Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) 2024, Schools, Table 42b Number of Full-time and Part-time Students, 2006-2024.
