The Department of Education gives every Victorian Government school student free access to the world-leading Morrisby online career education tool. For most students, this happens in year 9.
Morrisby helps your child make informed choices for senior secondary school and beyond by exploring their strengths, interests and career opportunities.
The My Career Insights program pairs your child’s Morrisby profile with a free expert career consultation.
Your child’s school needs your consent to give your child access to Morrisby.
Specialist school students aged 15 and older receive an adjusted and accessible My Career Insights program. Talk to your child’s school for more information.
The program
Step one: Parental consent
Your school will ask you to complete and return a paper consent form, or provide your consent digitally through Compass, for example.
Step two: Morrisby profile
Your school will ask your child to complete Morrisby quizzes. Morrisby will use their answers to create a unique profile that:
- summarises their individual strengths and interests
- suggests related careers paths and study options.
Step three: Career consultant meeting
Your school will set up an interview between your child and a career consultant from the Australian Centre for Career Education. They will talk about how to understand and use Morrisby.
You can join this meeting. Look out for communication from your school to find out more.
Step four: Career planning
Your child’s Morrisby profile helps them with:
- create their career action plan
- understand their options for senior secondary school
- explore what they would like to do when they finish school.
You might like to talk with your child about their Morrisby profile, interests, strengths, goals and options. For support with this conversation, see Talk to your child about their career.
Life-long career help
If your child completes their Morrisby profile, they can access it through the rest of their schooling, and beyond. As they develop new strengths, interests and goals, they can update their Morrisby profile to get useful study and career suggestions.
