Regional education and training careers

Work with us in the regions

We use a regional model to deliver education services across Victoria. Schools, early childhood services and training organisations work with us via staff in our local regional offices.

Our offices

We have more than 40 offices across Victoria to help bring area teams together and enable them to be close to the schools and communities that they service.

Our regional offices are equipped with excellent facilities, state-of-the-art technology, and fleet vehicles to enable staff to connect with work colleagues across the state.

How we work together

Teams work together to provide expert advice and support to early childhood providers, schools and their communities at a local level, with extra effort directed to ensure education and health and wellbeing services are accessible to, and inclusive of, the most vulnerable and disadvantaged.

Area teams also build and maintain strong connections between central and regional offices and the communities they service, so that positive outcomes are delivered where they matter most.
