Goulburn Ovens Institute of TAFE, also known as GOTAFE, is a Technical and Further Education (TAFE) institute located in the north east region of Victoria, Australia based on the Goulburn and Ovens rivers, and is the largest regional TAFE in Victoria, and a specialist centre for food processing, equine and dairy education.
A wide selection of study options are offered from short courses, apprenticeships, traineeships, certificates, diplomas and advanced diplomas under the Australian Qualifications Framework.
In 2005, Dairy Australia and the Institute formed a partnership to create the National Centre for Dairy Education (NCDE) to enable a single national framework for dairy education and training.
With University of Melbourne announcing the divestment of agricultural vocational education and training in its rural facilities in September 2005, the Goulburn Ovens Institute of TAFE through the National Centre for Dairy Education Australia was able to purchase the campus and facilities at Dookie, Warragul and Werribee. The Institute saw the Werribee campus as particularly important for continuing the linkage between dairy education, dairy research and specialised dairy equipment and expertise located within Dairy Innovation Australia Limited and Food Science Australia.
The National Centre for Dairy Education Australia is based on campuses at Shepparton, Terang, Warragul, and Werribee.
The Institute established in 2006 the National Centre for Equine Education to deliver Vocational Education and Training (VET) for the equine industry based at its Tone Road Campus in Wangaratta focusing on courses in equine breeding, racing and health.
The National Centre for Equine Education has two campuses: Tone Road, Wangaratta and Warragul]].
The Innoven division of GOTAFE focuses on innovative education programs in Hospitality, Baking, Food processing, Leadership, Logistics, Lean manufacturing, Meat Processing and OHS.
