Katherine campus

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

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

The campus focuses on agricultural training for Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses, Australian Apprenticeships and traineeships in agriculture. Programs include the new nationally accredited Rural Production VET/TAFE Training Package, and expansion of the college's Jackeroo and Jillaroo courses.

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, 16 km north of the Katherine town centre.

Residential facilities are available to students studying at the campus, see information on accommodation.
