Starting in July 2025, five free TAFE courses will be delivered at Chisholm's Wonthaggi campus. This includes:

"Chisholm is committed to providing affordable access to high-quality education. We are proud to offer training that not only addresses critical workforce gaps but also highlights the TAFE sector's ongoing commitment to the Wonthaggi region," said Chisholm CEO, Stephen Varty.
Chisholm is also partnering with the Victorian Government and TAFE Gippsland to explore long-term solutions for education and training opportunities in the local community, a partnership welcomed by Member for Bass, Jordan Crugnale.
"We're delivering the skills that Wonthaggi and the Bass Coast region need, with a selection of new Free TAFE courses now enrolling at Chisholm's Wonthaggi campus for 2025," said Ms Crugnale.
"Free TAFE has already saved 50,000 people across regional Victoria an average of $3000 each since 2019 - and now our local community will have the opportunity to train for jobs in high-demand areas like health, education, and accounting.
"These new courses will help people build careers without having to leave the community they love. This is all part of the government's efforts to make sure every Victorian can access affordable, high-quality training close to home."
Enrolments are now open for courses starting in July this year.
