The Carroll Labor Government is delivering high-quality learning environments so every Victorian student, no matter where they live, has the facilities and opportunities they need to succeed.

The fund delivers a range of improvements, including inclusive playgrounds, new shade sails, upgraded sports courts and modern STEM facilities, creating better spaces for students to learn, play and participate.

Schools could apply for one of 3 funding streams:

• Up to $150,000 for small-scale projects
• Up to $350,000 for student inclusion projects

Since 2024, Labor has supported 192 schools through the Capital Works Fund.

Victoria has the largest school building program in the country, investing $20.1 billion to fund 126 new government schools and deliver over 2,400 upgrades.

This is creating nearly 97,000 additional places to meet growing demand.

Labor is building the Education State, so every Victorian child has access to world-class education at a school.

Jess Wilson’s Liberal-One Nation Coalition must commit to supporting our teachers not delivering $40 billion of cuts to our schools, hospitals and kindergartens.
