Career Advice Australia - Local Community Partnerships

Building the future of young Australians

The Mildura Local Community Partnership is a consortium involving MADEC, as the lead agency, Centacare and Sunraysia and Murray Group Training. The local Community Partnership is helping to facilitate the delivery of local career and transition support to all schools throughout the Sunraysia region, as part of the Australian Government’s Career Advice Australia network. This network supports all young people aged 13 to 19 in their transitions through school and onto further study, training or work.

Our role is to work closely with schools, businesses and the community to ensure that young people have access to the information, advice and training they need to make informed decisions about their future. For more information about Local Community Partnerships go to www.careeradviceaustralia.gov.au/schools/lcp.htm
