Tasmanian Training and Apprenticeship Committee Policies
The Tasmanian Traineeships and Apprenticeships Committee (the TTAC) has developed policies for the purpose of the consistent and effective administration of legally binding training contracts, and the fair and equitable treatment of parties (apprentices, trainees and employers) to those contracts. All policies are in line with the power provided to the TTAC by the Training and Workforce Development Act 2013 (the Act).
On 1 July 2025 a new set of TTAC Polices were released:

The Committee provides advice to the Minister on the effective operation of training contracts within Tasmania, consistent with the Ministerial Priorities, to modernise the apprenticeship system and to help attract new and diverse cohorts to the system.
