Abstract
As one of the enduring features of the vocational education and training sector, the National Centre for Vocational Education Research clearly plays an important role. This paper draws upon analysts using French philosopher Michel Foucault’s theoretical approach to policy analysis to identify some of the reasons for NCVER’s stability and prosperity in a sector characterised by constant administrative reform. Through questioning the emergence and usage of the word ‘independent’ and its derivatives in the company’s annual reports, insights can be gained into NCVER’s role in lubricating intergovernmental relationships and the production of the Australian National Training System.
