July Snapshot

July 2025 snapshot from ACEVic

It’s been a big month for ACEVic, with the successful delivery of our 2025 Conference, a major highlight on the calendar and a fantastic opportunity to bring the sector together.

We’ve received overwhelmingly positive feedback about the day from the relevance and quality of the sessions to the smooth flow of the program and the overall experience. It’s clear the conference struck the right balance of practical insight, sector connection, and forward-thinking discussion.

We were especially pleased to welcome strong representation from key stakeholders across the sector, including ACFEB, senior executives from DJSIR, members of the VSA Board, and MPs. Their presence and engagement helped underscore the importance of the ACE sector and the role we all play in shaping inclusive, accessible education and training pathways for all Victorians.

This event not only celebrated the strength of our sector, it also reinforced the value of continued collaboration, visibility, and advocacy as we head into the second half of the year.

We’d also like to extend a genuine thank you to everyone who attended. Your energy, ideas, and participation were what made the day such a success and we couldn’t have done it without you.

As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like to connect, raise an issue, or explore a new idea. We’re here to support you.
