Katherine campus

The Katherine campus is located 16km north of Katherine and 300km south of Darwin. The rural campus is located in a rapidly developing mining, agricultural, horticultural and tourist region. It is well served by road, with about three buses a day arriving from the north and south.

As well as studying at the Katherine campus, students gain hands-on education and experience in rural studies at Mataranka Station, a 77,000 hectare cattle station.

The campus focuses on agricultural training for Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses, Australian Apprenticeships and traineeships in agriculture. Programs include the nationally-accredited Agriculture & Rural Production VET / TAFE Training Packages. Two-to-five day workshops in rural production skill areas including welding, vehicle maintenance, operating tractors, ride-ons and 4WD driving are also offered by the Katherine campus.

Accommodation and residential facilities are available to students studying at the campus.
