(1) Is TAFE funding contingent upon student completion, the same as it is for RTOs?
(2) If no to (1), why not?

(1) Yes, funding for State Training Providers and the WesternAustralianAcademyof Performing Arts (WAAPA) is contingent upon student completion, however, the mechanism by which State Training Providers and WAAPA are funded is different to that for private training providers.
Private training providers are funded for 70% of the value of each unit on reporting student commencement in the unit, with the remaining 30% funded on reporting student completion of the unit. For apprenticeship programs this is 85% and 15% respectively.
State Training Providers and WAAPA are funded through quarterly payments from which 30% of funding for the estimated number of unit withdrawals has been deducted. Reconciliation of this deduction occurs at the end of the calendar year and funding is adjusted to reflect the actual number of withdrawals that occur.
(2) Not applicable.
