TAFE SA to cut nearly 500 staff

Jul 20, 2015, updated May 13, 2025

TAFE SA will cut 495 jobs, or about one-fifth of its workforce, by 2019.

After the figures were revealed in a parliamentary hearing today, Premier Jay Weatherill said South Australia cannot afford higher levels of TAFE funding.

The opposition’s training spokesman David Pisoni said now is not the time to cut training opportunities when SA was suffering the highest unemployment in the nation.
