Wellbeing through education and lifelong learning

Canberra is a place with iconic national attractions and cultural institutions, spectacular natural landscapes, and a healthy environment and lifestyle that is second-to-none. Canberra's liveability means it is easy to navigate, network and connect.

Our Wellbeing Framework, the first of its kind in Australia, highlights the things that matter to our community: good health, opportunities for all Canberrans to achieve their goals and aspirations, and quality of life.

The framework guides policy design, decision-making and investment across 12 key domains. The education and life-long learning domain focuses on ensuring Canberrans have inclusive and equitable access to education and learning opportunities, through all ages and stages of life, to develop and gain the skills they need to thrive.

The ACT’s world class universities and vocational education and training providers are at the forefront of our ambition to support community wellbeing, and drive inclusive growth and prosperity. This creates an ecosystem where the best minds come together to create, solve problems and innovate.
