Senator for Victoria, Dr. Michelle Ananda-Rajah, will visit Wangaratta on Friday, 22 August 2025.

This visit will centre on education and skills, with planned stops at GOTAFE and Wangaratta High School to engage with staff, students, and local leaders about the Federal Labor Government’s education initiatives.

Dr Michelle will meet with educators, apprentices, and students to discuss opportunities created by recent government investments, including Federal Labor Government initiatives such as Fee-Free TAFE to boost skills training, expanded university places for regional students, and targeted school funding under the National School Reform Agreement to lift literacy, numeracy, and student wellbeing outcomes.

Dr Michelle looks forward to hearing from students, teachers, and training providers in Indi, and she aims to ensure that regional voices help shape future education policy.

“Every young person deserves access to the skills, training, and support they need to thrive," Dr Michelle said.

"I’m looking forward to hearing directly from the Indi community about how our education policies are making a difference and what more can be done.”
