The NSW Government has announced $38.3 million over four years to overhaul skills training with industry-aligned facilities at TAFE NSW Gosford, Ourimbah and Wyong on the state’s Central Coast.
TAFE NSW Gosford is set to receive a major upgrade with a new state-of-the-art simulated health hub for ageing, disability and nursing training, a dedicated Aboriginal Yarning Circle, and relocated student support services to improve access and engagement.
Meanwhile, the Ourimbah campus will be transformed with new simulated hair and beauty salons, fitness and remedial massage facilities, upgraded horticulture training spaces, a refreshed library, enhanced student support services, and modern general-purpose learning spaces.
TAFE NSW Wyong will receive new engineering, machining and fabrication facilities, building on existing electrotechnology, plumbing and automotive training, alongside new learning spaces and staff work areas.
“This is a big investment in skills that lead directly to jobs on the Central Coast,” said Minister for Skills, TAFE and Tertiary Education, Steve Whan.
“We’re bringing training together in modern hubs and making sure students are learning in facilities that reflect real workplaces and real employer needs.
“It means better training, stronger outcomes and more opportunities for people to build careers close to home.”
These works will be delivered in consultation with TAFE NSW teaching delivery teams to ensure facilities are practical, fit for purpose and support high-quality, industry-aligned training.
Staged works will commence in early 2026, with benefits for local students and community to be delivered progressively.
