provide and ensure access to high quality primary and secondary education for all Victorian children - including support for non-government schools
- ensure that all Victorians have access to high quality training and further education services necessary for the social and economic development of the State
- link training and further education to employment, especially in high skill areas and areas of skill shortage
- ensure that Government policies and service delivery reflect and meet the needs of all young Victorians.
In addition, the Department provides support and advisory services to the Ministers for Education & Training, and for Education Services as well as a number of statutory bodies.

The VQA is the statutory body in Victoria responsible for developing and monitoring standards for education and training after Year 10 (excluding higher education). We accredit new qualifications, and are responsible for approving the education and training providers who offer them. We keep a state register of qualifications and providers. We also approve providers to offer courses to overseas students. |

Frontyard Youth Services is a collection of services that work together to address the physical, emotional and social needs of young people aged up to 25 years who spend time in the Melbourne CBD and who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Some of the Services also work with young people across the whole of Melbourne and Victoria.
Frontyard Services seek to provide young people with choices that contribute to their health and future well-being and, where possible, return them to their community of origin. Most services are drop-in so no appointment is necessary (but Frontyard is not a drop in centre where young people can come to just hang out). |
