Gordon's Centre of Excellence (COE) for Disability Inclusion. This
role represents a revolutionary leap forward in vocational education,
positioning the Centre at the vanguard of a transformative journey
aimed at reshaping how TAFEs engage with and support individuals with
disabilities.
The overarching vision of the Centre is to
catalyse a paradigm shift, challenging conventional perceptions of

experiences are integral in shaping the design of the facility,
policies and services, driving meaningful societal
change.

environment, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future
trajectory of the COE. This entails defining our educational
direction, enhancing organizational performance, and ensuring
financial sustainability. Your ability to think strategically, provide
authoritative advice, and navigate relationships at organisational,
network, state, and federal levels will be paramount in driving the
