Role of the AETC

The role of the AETC is to facilitate the delivery of more effective educational and training services to Aboriginal people in Western Australia through:

• advising the relevant Western Australian Ministers on policies relating to education and training and to coordinate the development and monitoring of the Strategic Plan for Aboriginal Education and Training in Western Australia;
• to ensure that the Government has access to independent Aboriginal advice by developing effective consultative and advisory mechanisms which will provide an effective and direct opportunity for Aboriginal people to work at the highest level in setting policy for education and training of Aboriginal people; and
• to establish funding agreements with the Commonwealth Department of Education, Employment and Work Relations(DEEWR) that enable the Council to undertake projects relevant to its terms of reference.
