Find out how we aim to deliver outstanding learner experiences, job-ready graduates and innovative research that will drive the growth of our regions.
Our purpose is to deliver the transformative education, training and research that our regions need to thrive.
We’re deeply connected to the communities we serve across Ballarat, the Wimmera, Berwick, Gippsland and Melbourne. Everything we do is about real impact – strengthening economic, social and cultural outcomes through inclusive learning and practical research.
