The university has a partnership with Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect to its friends)

It is to expand and upskill the workforce, with Victoria U students in relevant disciplines able to take placements and internships with Aspect. Agency staff can access relevant VU courses.  And the partners expect to establish a service hub at VU St Albans.

Victoria U has a similar partnership with mental health service, Orygen.

And in May the university announced it would teach its Bachelor of Early Childhood Teaching in two years, rather than three to people with diplomas in the field, with the Victorian Government providing a $25 000 grant for students (CMM May 18).
