Victoria Schools

Victoria is Australia's education state. Victorian government schools are respected internationally for their high quality. Global partnerships have strengthened our experience and we have a track record of leadership.

The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development

As experienced leaders and innovators in education, the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) is held in high regard both locally and overseas. Policymakers and leading educators from around the world come to Victoria to learn about our education system and its inventive approach. DEECD is the government agency for, and major provider of school education in Victoria.

The International Education Division

The International Education Division (IED) represents DEECD in the international arena. We promote Victorian school education overseas and international education in Victorian government schools. We’re located in Melbourne, the capital city of Victoria. A safe, comfortable place to stay during your studies is just as important as the school you attend. That’s why we have high standards for our international student accommodation. Melbourne or regional Victoria, Australia: take your pick from heaps of great places to live or study.
