About SuniTAFE

What SuniTAFE is, and where it is

Automotive Workshop

Automotive WorkshopAutomotive Workshop

Sunraysia Institute of Technical and Further Education (SuniTAFE) is the major provider of vocational education and training in north-west Victoria. Established in 1979, SuniTAFE offers students up to date and relevant certificate and diploma undergraduate courses that are a combination of theoretical and practical learning. SuniTAFE has campuses in Mildura, Swan Hill, Robinvale and Ouyen and enrols over 8000 students annually.

One of the major issues facing Australia at the present time and in the immediate future is the lack of skilled people to fill vacancies in the workforce. Preparing people of all ages for the workforce is very much the role of TAFE Institutes. SuniTAFE is a school able to provide a wide range of courses to help prospective students become work ready for employment in Australia, through nationally accredited and recognised courses.

Some of the courses that we offer in areas of Australian skills shortages are in horticulture, conservation and land management, irrigation, business, commercial cookery and hospitality, automotive and other trades.

SuniTAFE is well placed to take a lead role in training for land, food and water management. The irrigation technology that is installed at the Institute’s fully operational farm at Cardross is also the best available in Australia at a training organisation.

SuniTAFE is also one of five partner colleges in the National Centre for Sustainability.

Mildura and Swan Hill

MilduraMildura and Swan Hill are situated in Victoria’s north-west. Its region’s landscape ranges from mallee vegetation to grain farms, intensive horticulture, vibrant towns and the beautiful banks of the Murray River.

The region’s population of around 80,000 people is culturally diverse, giving it a cosmopolitan flavour. From the Murray River to the National Parks and dryland farming districts, the region includes significant natural assets that are the hallmark of the district.

Mildura is known as the centre of Victoria’s food bowl and is a major horticultural producer. Fruit sourced from the region is famous for its quality, the rich soil contributing to optimal production. Mildura has become a key service and economic hub of inland Australia and is recognised as being one of the top two fastest growing inland regions in the county.

Mildura and Swan Hill enjoy a warm to mild climate, and days are mostly clear with 100+ days of full sunshine each year. Rainfall is about 290mm a year and is spread evenly across the months and seasons.

Both Mildura and Swan Hill are easy to travel by bicycle, as both are fairly flat. Despite it's name, Swan Hill isn't hilly.
