GOTAFE Values

GOTAFE Values

GOTAFE is committed to creating an organisation of proud, dedicated and committed individuals working together to achieve our mission.

We are working to build a dynamic environment, a place you will feel rewarded for your efforts and where you will be part of something you can be truly proud of.

Our vision is to create:

"A thriving organisation known for inspiring, motivating and equipping people for success."

Working with our values

GOTAFE is fostering a values-driven culture that is built around relationships and community, mutual respect, diversity, and a strong commitment to integrity, collaboration, and connectivity.

Our values define how we, as employees, do things around here. We are GOTAFE – as a service we can’t separate our people from the education and services we deliver.

Our values guide our behaviours, decision making, the way we engage with our students and the impact we have on our stakeholders.

Our Values in Action

At GOTAFE, how we achieve our goals matters just as much as the goals themselves. Our values guide our behaviours, shape our decisions, and define the way we interact with each other and our students every day. These shared values create a positive and respectful culture where everyone can thrive.

We are committed to:

  • Providing a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment
  • Standing against discrimination in all forms
  • Making decisions and taking actions that align with integrity, respect, and fairness

We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as Australia’s First Peoples and as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land. We honour and celebrate the diverse lived experiences of people of every ethnicity, faith, age, ability, culture, language, gender identity, sex, and sexual orientation.

At GOTAFE, our values aren’t just words – they shape how we work, how we support one another, and how we create lasting impact for our students, our communities, and future generations.
