(a) Yes.
(b) The review looked at the cost of using external specialist Auslan signers in delivering the course. The Department of Training and Workforce Development has increased funding to North Metropolitan TAFE – the only TAFE college that delivers these courses – to cover these costs so that student fees could be reduced from the beginning of 2021.
(c) Not applicable.
