GOTAFE CEO, Travis Heeney said, “We are absolutely thrilled to be named as a finalist in two award categories this year. Two years ago, we embarked on an ambitious transformation journey to take GOTAFE from good to great, ensuring our students and our community are the central focus of everything we do. It’s fantastic to be recognised by our industry and our peers.”
"“GOTAFE is extremely proud of the role we play ensuring our communities have access to the highest quality training and education in an environment which welcomes everybody. GOTAFE is widely recognised as a leader in embedding social justice principles, with our newly-established Social Justice Charter one of the first of its kind for any TAFE in Australia."
