As the Mallee region experiences strong population and economic growth, SuniTAFE (Sunraysia Institute of TAFE) responds to regional needs.

As a leading provider of vocational education in north west Victoria, SuniTAFE has two main campuses and a 30-hectare SMART farm near Mildura. SMART farm programs are technologically innovative, and have attracted international attention. They align students and industry to meet growing horticultural demand.

SunniTAFE launched a Diploma of Nursing in 2018, as well as a Certificate III in Transport and Logistics in response to an urgent need for freight drivers.

SuniTAFE is cultivating success, with above-average completion rates of 95 per cent, accompanied by strong job outcomes for graduates and the highest number of new enrolments in Victoria for 2018.
