Abstract	This paper is one of five supporting papers to "A Bridge to the Future: Australia's National Strategy for VET 1998-2003" (ED 420 764). Although some equity client groups in Australia are now relatively well represented in vocational education and training (VET), patterns of enrollment and achievement are not uniform. To respond to this situation and take into account the forces for change and dominant policy shifts that will affect the VET sector over the next 5 years, a new approach is required that must be based upon three critical elements: overcoming or removal of structural inequities; implementation of targeted responses to equity based on workable solutions; and introduction of resource allocation strategies and incentives that encourage responsiveness to client needs. This framework for equity is equally consistent with approaches based on a philosophy of "social justice" as with approaches from the perspective of "managing diversity." It will also supplement focus on selected broad client groups with closer attention to the capacity of the system to respond to particular needs and circumstances. This will be reflected in an approach to the measurement and evaluation of performance in relation to equity that includes measures of outputs and outcomes and participation and is focused not only on the position of particular client groups, but also on the capacity of the system to respond to a diversity of clients. (The document contains 11 endnotes, 29 references, and 2 appendices: analysis of client groups and summary data.) (YLB)
