This Budget will build another 13 schools across our state, bringing the total number of new schools to 75 since 2019.
Students with special needs should also have the same opportunities as every other student in Victoria.
So we are helping make our schools even more inclusive for students with disability and special needs by upgrading another 36 special schools – meaning since 2015 we have upgraded every special school in the state.
We’re continuing to build and improve schools around the state, to ensure all our kids have the learning environment they need to succeed.
Because we’re committed to ensuring high-quality schools for every child, wherever they live and whatever their needs.
And this investment won’t just deliver great schools – it’s also helping create jobs in construction and related industries across the state.
Key investments include:
- $581 million to build 13 brand new schools, and funding to complete additional stages at four schools.
- $560 million to upgrade 65 schools across Victoria including $326 million for 36 special schools, improving educational outcomes through world-class classrooms and learning facilities.
- $247 million for essential maintenance and compliance and the Accessible Buildings Program.
- $92 million for new relocatable buildings to relieve pressure at schools that are reaching their capacity and to provide additional functional spaces for learning.
- $56 million to expand capacity to meet enrolment growth at two established area schools ahead of the 2025 school year.
- $42 million to fund minor capital works and priority projects at Victorian schools.
