The Education Support Finance & Administration Relief Program is an initiative run through the Department of Education and Business Managers Victoria, aimed at providing assistance and support within the education sector, particularly for office staff in administration and finance roles. This program offers opportunities for individuals to receive training and gain practical experience in educational office settings.

Eligibility

This program is designed for individuals who:

• Have not previously worked in a school office.
• Are not currently employed by a school.
• Are not seeking permanent work. This program is specifically for individuals interested in working in casual relief roles within a school office. Relief work may vary in duration, ranging from a few days to up to six weeks, depending on staff absences.

The program trains participants for school office relief roles, equipping them with essential skills to assist schools on a short-term, flexible basis.

If you currently work in a school office, we recommend speaking with your Business Manager about resources available through your school’s local training centre, as you may already have access to some of the Edu-learn modules covered in this program.
