TAFE Directors Australia (TDA) operates the Tuition Assurance Scheme for Careers Australia. This scheme is designed to assist students move to another provider if it is necessary so that they can continue their training and access VET student loans. TDA has established a call centre to enable students to provide their details and seek advice. The number is (07) 3307 4789. It is important that all students contact this number and provide their details.

At this stage, students are advised not to enrol with any other providers. TAFE NSW is involved in these discussions as a potential alternative provider if it is necessary.

If students would also like to leave their details with TAFE NSW, they can call our Student Hotline on 1300 923 758 and once Careers Australia's administrator advises on the situation we will inform students via email of next steps.
