  • What choices does a young person have to meet the requirements of the new law?

    The legislation requires that a young person completes Year 10. For young people who have completed Year 10 but have not reached 17 years of age there are a number of options. They are required to do one of the following on a full time basis:

    • enrol in a secondary school;
    • enrol in a training course at TAFE NSW;
    • undertake an apprenticeship or traineeship;
    • enrol in a training course with another approved training organisation;
    • undertake employment: or
    • undertake some combination of education or training and employment.

  • Can someone who has finished Year 10, but is not yet 17 years old, go to TAFE?

    Yes. Students who have finished Year 10, but haven't turned 17 years of age, can go to TAFE. Just as now, they will have to check if the course they want is available and if they meet the enrolment, course entry and selection requirements.
