If you are new to the area, or considering moving to this part of Victoria – we’d like to welcome you. Mildura is one of Australia’s most vibrant rural – and river – cities being on the banks of the Murray River in northwest Victoria, Australia, part of the Sunraysia district.
With a regional population of 50,000, of which nearly 5% are indigenous, Mildura is based on the traditional lands of the Latji Latji, Yerre Yerre and Wergaia peoples of Victoria and the Paakanjti, Mutthi Mutthi and Nygiampaa peoples of New South Wales.
This cosmopolitan location has a Mediterranean climate and a multicultural vibe with around 20% of the population speaking a language other than English at home.
Here you can indulge in water sports and the fabulous river lifestyle of paddle steamers, houseboats and fishing.
Known as the centre of Victoria’s Food Bowl, Mildura is a major producer of citrus fruits and wine, supplying 80% of Victoria’s grapes and 70% of Australia’s dried vine fruits. This draws many migrant and seasonal workers to the region. Mildura is home to many great wineries, cafés, fine dining, fashion, art and culture.
Established in 1887, the town features many outstanding buildings of historical and architectural significance – and worthy attractions in their own right.
Approximately 6 hours’ drive north of Melbourne, Mildura’s airport is the third busiest airport in Victoria with multiple daily flights to and from Melbourne and direct flights to other locations in Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales. A train with connecting bus service is also available from Melbourne.

We would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we are meeting, the Latji Latji people, and pay our respects to Elders both past, present and future. We also acknowledge First Nations staff, students and families who are a part of our College community.
