The following legislation is relevant to the provision of vocational education & training in South Australia:
- National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act (Cth) 2011: establishes the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator, called the Australian Skills Quality Authority
- South Australian Skills Act (SAS Act) 2008 The SAS Act, which amended the Training and Skills Development Act (T&SD Act) 2008, is the legislation which governs the skills and training system in South Australia. On 1 July 2021, when the SAS Act took effect, new Regulations and Standards introduced some simpler processes and clear responsibilities for employers, apprentices and trainees, registered training organisations, group training organisations and state government agencies. The Act also created the South Australian Skills Commission which brought together services delivered by the Office of the Training Advocate and the Training and Skills Commission.
