Central Regional TAFE

Central Regional TAFE is a Western Australian government vocational training provider with nine campuses across the Midwest, Goldfields, and Wheatbelt regions.

Central Regional TAFE (CR TAFE) is a Western Australian government TAFE (Technical and Further Education) institute, formed in April 2016 through the merger of Durack Institute of Technology, Goldfields Institute of Technology (Kalgoorlie campus), and CY O'Connor Institute (Northam, Merredin, and Moora campuses). It operates nine campuses spanning approximately 57% of Western Australia's landmass, with its main campus in Geraldton and additional sites in Kalgoorlie, Northam, Carnarvon, Exmouth, Moora, Merredin, and two specialist facilities in Geraldton.

CR TAFE offers certificate and diploma-level vocational qualifications, not university degrees, across eleven industry areas including commercial cookery and patisserie, nursing and individual support, early childhood education, information technology, community services, maritime and logistics, agriculture, and engineering trades. The Geraldton campus includes the Batavia Coast Maritime Institute, an award-winning maritime training facility. Course durations typically range from six to twelve months.

International students enrol through TAFE International Western Australia (TIWA), the single CRICOS-registered body (provider code 00020G) for all WA TAFEs. Tuition fees for international students start from AUD 6,276 per semester and vary by course. The institution is not ranked by global university ranking agencies as it is a vocational, not higher-education, provider.
