ADULT LEARNING AUSTRALIA AWARDS
I refer to the Department of Education, Science and Training Adult Learning Australia Awards held in Canberra last Saturday. The minister will be aware that Swan TAFE, in conjunction with the Department of Justice and Centrelink, won the national award for program of the year; that West Coast TAFE won the educator of the year award; and that Challenger TAFE won the provider of the year award. Will the minister ensure that the congratulations of the members of this house are passed to Swan TAFE, West Coast TAFE, Challenger TAFE, the Department of Justice and Centrelink on this significant occasion, which clearly recognised the magnificent work carried out by these TAFE colleges and government departments in the important area of adult learning?

I thank Hon George Cash for his recognition of the fine work that goes on within our training institutions, and particularly our TAFE sector. I must also commend private training providers, because in a time of critical skills shortages it is a case of everybody having to work cooperatively to make sure that we meet the needs of industry. I thank the member for the question and for his support of our TAFE colleges. I have released a media statement congratulating Challenger, West Coast and Swan TAFEs for winning the awards, which recognise excellence in adult education and training. I will ensure that the congratulations of the members of this house are passed to the worthy recipients of these prestigious national awards. I also take this opportunity to congratulate Challenger TAFE on being named the Australian large training provider of the year at the recent Australian Training Awards. This is a fantastic achievement for Challenger TAFE, which was up against a number of other exceptional organisations across the country. This recognition of our TAFE colleges once again proves that under the Gallop Labor government, Western Australia’s vocational education and training system is the best in the nation. I want to make a special point very quickly about Challenger TAFE. I hope you will indulge me, Mr President. Malcolm Goff, the Managing Director of Challenger TAFE, is doing some fantastic work for Challenger TAFE. Rather than trying to bring everything within the TAFE’s facilities, he has a very outward-looking approach to the provision of training. Challenger TAFE offers training in a range of facilities in the community, and this arrangement provides students with real life experiences and opportunities. That is a very visionary way of providing training, and it is certainly a departure from the way in which training has historically been done. I commend him for his foresight and vision in that regard.
