Both Houses of Parliament have passed the Skilling Australia's Workforce Bill 2005 and the Skilling Australia's Workforce (Repeal and Transitional Provisions) Bill 2005. The Skilling Australia’s Workforce Bill sets out the objectives for the new national training system and describes the commitment by the Australian Government and the State and Territory Governments to support the new arrangements. The associated Repeal and Transitional Provisions Bill will repeal the Australian National Training Authority Act 1992 and the Vocational Education and Training Funding Act 1992 and provides for the transitional arrangements for the transfer of functions and responsibilities from the Australian National Training Authority to the Department of Education, Science and Training.
