Providers in the Art and Non-Vocational Education industry offer various educational services to downstream markets, including both households and businesses. The industry is highly fragmented - many providers are owner-operators, and for segments like providing driving lessons, music lessons and tutoring, it's relatively easy to start up operations. However, providers must contend with well-established firms in their respective segments, meaning that barriers to entry and competitive conditions can vary among different types of education. Providers tend to rely on favourable trends in business confidence, net migration and household discretionary income, since these factors can markedly influence performance.

Industry firms offer a range of education and training services. Art and non-vocational education providers include tutoring services, English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS) providers, driving schools and performing arts colleges. The industry excludes pre-schools, kindergartens, schools, higher education institutions, technical and further education (TAFE) colleges and sports instructors.
