Victorian secondary students on any senior secondary pathway. We want a mix of students from government, independent and Catholic schools, from Melbourne and from regional Victoria.
About 40 hours across 2027. There are four in-person meetings of around three hours each, plus a one-hour online briefing before each one. You’ll need to make all four meetings.
At VicSRC’s office in North Melbourne or the Department of Education's office in the city, during the school holidays. Briefings are on Zoom, so you can join from home.
You’ll find out what’s coming up at the next meeting, ask questions, get to know the other panellists, and build your confidence and skills through training.
Yes! VicSRC covers travel costs and organises supervised accommodation for panellists from regional and rural areas.
You’ll receive an honorarium of $25 an hour for meetings, training and briefings. That’s around $1,000 across the year.
Yes. Before you apply, check with your parents, carers or guardians that you can get to the meetings and take part across the year.
Someone from VicSRC will contact you in 2027 to set up a short, informal online chat. It’s a chance for us to get to know you and for you to ask any questions.

— Naufal
I highly suggest VicSRC Ambassadors to any students who want to have their voice heard and want to improve their student voice actions. I'm glad I was a part of this program, and I'm going to miss it and everyone involved.
