Language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) are the essential underpinning skills that enable people to be
productive in their work, to continue to learn and develop, and to participate fully in society.
More than 7 million Australian adults are likely to experience difficulty with reading skills
About 2 million adult Australians are in the lowest literacy category
Nearly 8 million Australian adults are likely to experience difficulty with numeracy skills
Poor foundation skills can be a major barrier for job seekers and for those wishing to up-skill. These core skills are crucial to higher educational outcomes — which in turn lead to higher workforce participation and higher productivity. Australian Government Budget9
Language, literacy and numeracy – everybody’s business
The Industry Skills Councils (ISCs) believe that responsibility for building the LLN skills of Australians
should be shared by industry and all education sectors. Nothing less than a co-ordinated response
to the LLN challenge will succeed.
Council of Australian Governments (COAG) blueprint for action on LLN in Australia 2012-2022 :
• better identification of the LLN skills of learners before training, and targeted funding to
address identified LLN skill gaps
• the inclusion of clear advice on LLN skill requirements in training packages and/or their
companion volumes
• the implementation of a strategy to develop greater national awareness of LLN issues,
including the de-stigmatisation of LLN skill development
• an increased capacity in the vet system to enable all practitioners to support the LLN
skill development needs of learners and workers
• better targeted solutions for building the LLN skills of workers/learners.
