To support Council in the performance of its regulatory functions the the TAC Strategic Plan 2025-2028 and accompanying overview identifies four strategic priorities to meet its regulatory requirements through its own good governance, and with a focus on the compliance, quality assurance and continuous improvement of individual RTOs, and applied systemically across the VET sector.
