Welcome to the Automotive Training Australia Component Donation Website.
The programme was founded by the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) and is implemented on their behalf by ATA.
This programme was established under the direction of the FCAI, whose members are the prime component donors, in order to provide TAFE institutes with state of the art components upon which to train students to support the automotive industry.
Vehicle manufacturers/importers/suppliers (FCAI members) advise or enter into the database, material they have available for donation. These are allocated to Providers (TAFE Institutes) in accordance with their requirements as entered into the database. Last financial year in excess of $4M worth of components or assemblies were donated to TAFE institutes throughout Australia. Since the inception of this programme, a calculated value of in excess of $34M worth of components has been donated.
The programme operates on a cost only basis with recipient TAFE Institutes contributing to the ongoing operating costs including freight costs ex the Melbourne Distribution Centre. Individual recipient Institutes pay the freight costs from the distribution centre to their location.
This innovative and user friendly computer program enables direct entry by both Suppliers & Providers and enables direct communication with the Programme Administration, all via the Internet. It should enable more efficient distribution of components to meet the training demand.
