Construction Update: Centre of Excellence in Disability Inclusion

UPDATE 6 January, 2026

Building Change, Keeping Connection

The Gordon is building Victoria’s first Centre of Excellence in Disability Inclusion to make TAFE more accessible and inclusive for everyone. During construction (2026-27), some classrooms and services will move to temporary locations outlined below. There will be necessary but significant changes that will impact how to get around campus. These disruptions are essential steps towards making a more accessible and inclusive campus. Even though locations may move, services and facilities will still remain available. Look out for updated maps, signage, and digital notices to help you get around and check your timetable regularly. If you need support or have questions, please contact Customer Service.
