Everything under the sun

Defined by the mighty Murray River to the north, the Mallee is renowned for its vast spaces, clear blue skies, unique landscape and strong local communities.

Employment opportunities are broad. Traditional roles in retail, manufacturing, viticulture, horticulture, agriculture and tourism are complemented by an increasing demand for skilled workers in mining, trades, renewable energy, aquaculture and health services.

The Victorian Government is ensuring Mallee communities continue to be ideal places to live, work and invest, by delivering a range of improvements to public transport, country roads, tourism infrastructure and health facilities, and through initiatives such as Free TAFE for priority courses.

The Victorian Budget 2022/23 provides $5.7 billion for regional initiatives, taking the Government’s total investment in regional Victoria to more than $36 billion since 2015.

Locals living in the Mallee will  benefit from investment for an additional 500,000 specialist medical appointments in rural and regional Victoria, while families in Buloke will be among the first to access the roll out of universal three-year-old kinder.
