How to support Melbourne Polytechnic and our students through sponsorship.

Becoming a Melbourne Polytechnic Sponsor is a powerful way to make a lasting impact on the lives of our students and the future of your industry. Sponsorship demonstrates your organisation’s commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility by giving back to the community and supporting the next generation of skilled professionals.

Your organisation will also gain valuable business exposure through acknowledgement at Melbourne Polytechnic events, communication channels and website. 


You can feel confident knowing that 100% of your contribution goes directly to helping students. We don’t deduct any administrative fees.

There are three meaningful ways you can get involved:
