VCEA Funded ACCE Membership
VCEA will fund ACCE membership for up to 2 careers staff in Victorian Catholic secondary schools until the end of 2027.
Members at Victorian Catholic Schools that applied in 2026 do not need to apply for 2027 as their membership is automatically extended. Applications are managed by the Australian Centre for Career Education member services team.
Places may be capped where schools submit multiple applications , however schools wishing to increase membership beyond 2 staff are invited to contact ACCE via membership@acce.org.au
