GOTAFE's background

GOTAFE was established in 1996, leading the way in providing students from all walks of life access to a wide range of skills and education opportunities.

GOTAFE offers real-world learning experiences, flexible hands-on training and a wide range of accredited courses. The strength of GOTAFE lies in our experienced, skilled and innovative staff who provide customised and quality assured training programs to students, industry clients and the wider community.

GOTAFE provides a sense of community and fosters a safe, supportive space for students to grow, support each other and be challenged. As the first TAFE to commit to a Social Justice Charter, GOTAFE is dedicated to equality, encouraging diversity, and providing high-quality education to all people.
