Transport

VET courses coordinated by the Wimmera Southern Mallee VET Cluster are delivered in Horsham and at Longerenong College. Students are required to travel to Horsham one day a week to attend their courses.

Public bus services are available from some regions. The Department of Education will pay the fare associated with travel for VET students only using these services in 2024.  A bus from Horsham College Bus Exchange to RTOs outside of Horsham College and Federation University operates each VET day and is also paid for by the Department of Education.

Students are reminded that appropriate behaviour is expected at all times.  When  applying for a VET course, students will be required to agree to abide by the Code of Conduct. This is required prior to travel on the public bus system.
