                  Acknowledgments 
                  The Queensland VET Sector Outbound Mobility Best Practice Guide (the ‘Guide’) has been developed by 
                  the International Education Resources Group for the Queensland Department of Education, Training and 
                  Employment. Copies of the Guide and associated resources are available on the Queensland Department 
                  of Education, Training and Employment website at http://training.qld.gov.au/information/tafe-qld-
                  international/best-practice-guides.html. 
                  Disclaimer 
                  This Guide contains ideas and examples on recognised industry good practice in conducting outbound 
                  mobility projects. It has been developed in good faith to support the Queensland VET sector and is intended 
                  for use as a source of ideas and options that can be adapted and customised for a provider’s unique situation. 
                  The Queensland Government disclaims all responsibility and all liability for any expenses, losses, damages 
                  and costs that might incur as a result of the information in this Guide, and accompanying provider resources, 
                  being inaccurate or incomplete in any way, or from the use of, or reliance on, this material.
                  For Further Contributions
                  By their very nature, Best Practice Guides are a work in progress. They are a snapshot in time of how 
                  providers are dealing with a topic and or market opportunity. It is not possible to capture every detail 
                  regarding the subject or every provider’s experience. As a dynamic industry resource, your ongoing 
                  submissions, contributions and ideas are welcomed. Please email us at TAFEQueenslandinternational@
                  deta.qld.gov.au
                  Industry Contributions 
                  The Queensland VET Sector Outbound Mobility Best Practice Guide is funded by the Queensland Department 
                  of Education, Training and Employment. This resource would not have been possible without the contribution 
                  of Queensland public and private providers who are innovating in outbound mobility programs for their staff 
                  and students. This represents a small but committed group of providers who recognise the importance of 
                  international mobility as part of a broader international strategy. TAFE Queensland International would like to 
                  offer special thanks to industry stakeholders who took part in the online survey and those who gave their time 
                  to contribute ideas, case studies and good practice in mobility for the sector. These stakeholders include:
