There are many government agencies that contribute to legislation and operating
standards in the public transport industry. Keep up to date with both state
and federal initiatives and emerging legislation that directly affect your business.
If you need assistance on any public transport issue, be it road infrastructure,
route networks, safety and security or service delivery then a good place to
start is always with your state
association. However, this site page will also give you direct
access to the relevant state and federal authorities that may assist in resolving
issues effecting your public transport system.
While your associations can provide an active service in representing your
business needs, it is vitally important to canvas your local, state and federal
government agencies to voice your concerns. The BIC (Bus Industry Confederation)
holds an annual pilgrimage to Canberra, the BIC lobbying day, to enable operators
from around the nation to rally together to debate legislative changes and your
needs as a business community. This rally is an important tool to better enable
a progressive and fair public transport system which ensures the economic health
of your business. Please visit the BIC
website for more information on this lobby event.

| Destination
and Satisfaction Survey of 2004 HSC VET Students in NSW |
NSW Department of
Education and
Training |
This study was undertaken to determine the value to students
of VET in Schools programs in New South Wales, given that the number of
students undertaking VET subjects as part of their HSC has increased dramatically
in recent years.
Almost 54,000 NSW students in Years 11 and 12 enrolled in one or more HSC
VET subjects in 2004, representing 35% of the total number of students.
Of these, around 40,000 students were from government schools, which means
that slightly more than four in every ten senior government school students
enrolled in
at least one HSC VET subject in 2004. |
Drug and Alcohol
Issues:
An Agenda for Workforce Development in NSW |
NSW Department of

The NSW Summit on Alcohol Abuse in 2003 and the Drug Summit
in 1999 found that a capable workforce is a key factor in preventing drug
and alcohol problems and reducing
the impact of these problems on families, communities and workplaces. The
publication Drug and Alcohol Issues: An Agenda for Workforce Development
in NSW sets out the goals to be achieved for the development of this workforce
and identifies
priority areas for its growth. It is an inspiring and challenging Agenda
– a comprehensive program to address a worldwide problem at both state
and local levels. |
| Strategic
Evaluation of Vocational Education and Training in Schools in NSW |
NSW Department of
Education and Training |
As the Destination and Satisfaction Survey of 2004 HSC
VET Students in New South Wales by the University of Melbourne shows, students
have resoundingly endorsed the value of the NSW vocational education and
training in schools program.
Students’ enthusiasm for VET in schools is unequivocal.
Melbourne University reports that “the value of VET in schools in
New South Wales cannot be overstated. [The study] shows that HSC VET students
successfully access a broad range of study and labour market destinations,
and that they also unequivocally
endorse the value of their VET in schools subjects”.
This evaluation reached the same conclusion.
The student survey results were mirrored in almost all of the extensive
consultations conducted for the evaluation. The consultations confirmed
that New South Wales has a VET in schools program that is working to the
benefit of students, employers and the community. |
