We know cost-of-living pressures are real, and many of you have told us that parking costs add to the challenge.  

We listened to your feedback and are pleased to announce that from 2026, your first parking permit will be free. This is one small way we’re trying to make TAFE a little more affordable. 

You’ll still need to pay the usual daily parking fee via the PayStay app or ticket machine when you park at the Elgar, Nelson or Whitehorse campuses, but your first permit is on the house. 

We’re committed to finding ways to support you, and this is just one example. Please continue sharing your views as they matter to us. 

To learn more, visit the parking information page on Student Web.

Recently, there has been a spike in car break-ins at the Elgar campus P8 carpark. The thief appears to be targeting vans and stealing tools.

Security will increase patrols in all car parks, effective immediately. However, we ask you to report any thefts or suspicious activity to Security immediately on 03 9286 9286.

To help protect your belongings, please take the following precautions:

• Remove all valuables from your vehicle, especially tools, bags, and electronics.
• Lock your vehicle and double-check windows are fully closed.
• Keep an eye out and report any information that may assist to Security.

Thanks for helping to keep our BHI community safe.

Are you the sort of student who always supports others, helping them to do their best?

Do you encourage collaboration and teamwork?

Do you have a positive impact inside and outside your class?

If this sounds like you, then you should nominate yourself for one of our BHI Awards!

These awards aren’t about grades. They’re about recognising those of you who have a positive impact on other people around you, whether that’s in class, at work or in the community.

What’s in it for me?

Winning an award is a great way to make yourself more attractive to prospective employers, as it recognises your ability to contribute to a team, lift up those around you and support others.

In addition, each award is generously supported by a community partner, with financial support of up to $2000!

Some students will also be selected for nomination into the Victorian Training Awards – earning you industry recognition and a great way to fast-track your career!

How do I enter?

All you need to do is download and fill in the nomination form and submit it to your teacher, along with any evidence you can provide.

Your teacher will then review your submission and submit it to the judging panel via our online submission portal.

The deadline is midnight 31 December 2025, so make sure you don't miss out!
