Abstract	As part of a study of the development and implementation of the National Core Curricula (NCC) in Australia, a historical background was prepared from a number of data sources and views on NCC were sought from senior Technical and Further Education (TAFE) officers in Australia. More specific information was sought in three case studies, the project findings were developed, and recommendations were formulated. Principal conclusions included the following: (1) the task force approach to the management of NCC development is appropriate and effective; (2) the research, development, and diffusion model of curriculum design commonly used in NCC development does not enhance the degree of fidelity in their implementation; (3) the most positive effect of NCC on standards should be the improvement in the quality of learning materials, but this benefit is not necessarily delivered to students; and (4) national industry/occupational surveys would help maintain standards of NCC. Principal benefits to students were improved mobility and a greater acceptance of state/territory vocational courses by licensing and registration authorities across Australia. Recommendations called for the use of more techniques of curriculum development, feasibility studies prior to authorization of national curriculum projects, and monitoring of NCC implementation.
