Abstract	This report, based on national consultations with community, industry, and government stakeholders in Australia, as well as an analysis of the recommendations of 60 major reports on access and equity in vocational education and training prepared since 1990, brings together the key strategic areas where cooperative and concerted activity for access is to be improved and equity of outcomes is to be realized. The report discusses why access and equity are concerns and suggests five principles that should be followed to achieve access and equity. It also lists outcomes for access and equity that should be achieved by the year 2001 and ties possible strategies to the outcomes to create a plan. The plan includes the following priorities: (1) improving funding arrangements; (2) making training more relevant; (3) improving discriminatory attitudes; (4) increasing levels of language, literacy and numeracy skills; (5) improving basic work and life skills; (6) improving student and employee support; (7) improving child care provision for students; (8) eliminating bias in competency standards, curriculum, teaching, and course requirements; (9) increasing recognition of prior learning assessments; and (10) improving flexible delivery. An appendix provides a matrix showing causes of disadvantage among various groups of people in Australia. (KC)
