The 2026 contracting process
We’ve published details about the 2026 contracting process on the Skills Victoria Training System (SVTS).
Our decisions about the Skills First program for 2026 will consider Victoria’s priority training and workforce needs, and the available funding. We will target our investment in priority-needs courses where tuition fees are a significant barrier for student enrolment, and where the fees are not usually covered by an employer.
No expression of interest for new training providers for 2026
We are not opening an expression of interest process for new training providers to apply for a contract.
Current arrangements can meet the demand for priority skills training in areas of occupational and industry need.
