We value difference and diversity, and welcome and celebrate everyone's contributions, lived experience and expertise. That’s why we champion an inclusive and respectful workplace culture where everyone is supported to succeed.
Some 20,000 staff work for Monash around the world. We have 95,000 students, four Australian campuses, and campuses in Malaysia and Indonesia. We also have a major presence in India and China, and a significant centre and research foundation in Italy.
We have established ourselves firmly among the world's best tertiary institutions.
The Faculty of Education has an international reputation for excellence in research and teaching and is consistently ranked as the #1 Education Faculty in Australia and in the top 10 globally (Shanghai Ranking 2025).
Comprising three schools: the School of Educational Psychology and Counselling; the School of Curriculum, Teaching and Inclusive Education; and the School of Education, Culture and Society, plus the Impactful Krongold Clinic, the Faculty’s footprint extends across two campuses in Australia as well as delivering programs offshore.
Our identity reflects a mission to equip the next generation of educators, counsellors, educational psychologists and researchers with the skills and knowledge to flourish in their work and make a real difference in the world.
