The QuIET Network (Quality in Education and Training Network) was established in 1994. The Network incorporates both public and private RTOs with a focus on:
Assistance in the continuous improvement and best practice
Provide a means by which members are able to further develop their knowledge of quality concepts and practices in regard to all matters relating to Quality in Vocational and Further Education
Reflect the views of its members, and provide advice and assistance on Quality practice, to the national regulator and state authorizes
To facilitate liaison between Quality related peak bodies and Vocational and Further Education Quality practitioners
Since its establishment, the Network has provided a consistent and effective vehicle for staff working in the area of quality to gain support and share their experiences as well as providing a critical forum for members to hear from experts in quality to increase their knowledge and skills. The network has approximately 70 members (a combination of individual and corporate memberships) with representatives from TAFE Institutes, Dual Sector Universities and private registered providers.
In addition to this, the Network has operated effectively as a means for such organisations as the Higher Education and Skills Group (part of DET), ASQA -Australian Skills Quality Authority and the Victorian Registration & Qualifications Authority (VRQA), and their predecessors, to meet with quality representatives of member organisations to seek information and also to implement initiatives throughout the training system.
The Network has made a significant contribution to the efficient and effective take-up of quality in training organisations.
The ever-changing landscape of VET regulation and the impact of the external environment will have a major effect of the way RTOs will need to structure or operate in the future. The Quiet Network will assist and work through the coming changes with members.
