Access to all levels of education is essential for regional communities to establish a pathway for lifelong learning and improving educational outcomes for people living in these areas.

Join the Hon. Fiona Nash, Regional Education Commissioner, and our expert panel as they dive into the critical steps to closing the gap and addressing the disparity in education outcomes between communities in our cities and those in regional areas.

“Education is essential for our regional communities, especially access to tertiary education that allows our young people to undertake further study, sometimes within and sometimes away from their hometown or region.” The Hon. Fiona Nash
