This paper reviews options for providing additional funds for a tertiary institution and for improving efficiency in the use of funds. It reviews the context of the funding for VET and higher education in Australia and specifically for the Northern Territory, then considers some possible ways of increasing funding or reducing the costs of providing education and training. Ways in which public funding could be expanded are discussed, as is private funding, and finally ways of increasing the efficiency of delivery and hence reducing the cost per EFTSU or per student hour.
