Supporting educators from small, regional and remote schools to connect, grow and thrive.
Active Education Australia, powered by ACHPER Victoria, is committed to ensuring all teachers have access to high-quality professional learning, regardless of their location. The Access for All Scholarship provides financial support for educators from small, regional and remote schools to attend the 2026 State Conference.
Two scholarship options are available:
Full Experience Scholarship includes full two-day registration and a subsidy to assist with either accommodation or relief staff costs.
One-Day Scholarship covers a single day of attendance and provides a smaller subsidy to support participation costs.
This program reduces barriers to professional learning and helps ensure that schools from all communities are represented and supported.
