Plan Guidance gives TEOs information about what we look for in an Investment Plan and how we will assess it. This is key guidance on how Investment Plans should align with our investment priorities, including those set out in the Tertiary Education Strategy.

You need to be aware the Government is currently considering funding and policy changes to tertiary education. Any changes will be published on our website when the information becomes available. We may provide additional information in an earlier Supplementary Plan Guidance as well as after Budget 2024. This information will be relevant when developing your Investment Plans and we recommend reading it alongside Plan Guidance.

Priorities for investment in 2025 are informed by the Tertiary Education Strategy, wider government goals and advice from industry and regional partners. We will strategically prioritise our funding to deliver for learners, employers, industry and communities.

The TEC and the sector need to work together to create a learner-success-driven tertiary education system. For information and templates to help TEOs tell us how they are progressing towards equity of educational outcomes, see Guidance to develop your Investment Plan.

You will also find information on our Investment Framework for Learner (Delivery) Funds and an Introduction to the Investment Process.

TEOs with any questions on the Plan Guidance should contact their Relationship Managers or call our Customer Contact Group on 0800 601 301.
