Australian Network on Disability

The NSW Department of Education and Training delivers high quality, internationally competitive public education and training from early childhood (pre-school), through to the compulsory years of schooling (Kindergarten to Year 10), and senior secondary education leading to the award of the NSW Higher School Certificate (Years 11 and 12).

It also provides TAFE NSW courses, migrant English programs, post-secondary art courses and advice to the NSW Government on higher education.  The Department is particularly focused on addressing the training needs of industry and meeting the challenge of skills shortages in certain trades.

The Department is the largest single organisation, public or private, in Australia.  With a recurrent budget of $14.7 billion, the Department is responsible for around one quarter of the State's total budget.

Around 741,000 students are taught by over 50,000 full time teachers in more than 2,200 NSW Government schools - including pre-schools, primary schools, central schools, high schools, colleges and specialist schools.

The Department has a strong focus on creating a workplace that is fair and inclusive and building a workforce which reflects the diversity of our students, parents and the NSW community.  Improving employment and participation of under represented groups including people with disability in our workforce is a priority.
