Ardoch is a children’s education charity focused on improving educational outcomes for children and young people in disadvantaged communities.

We partner with schools and early years services to deliver tailored education support programs focusing on:

• Literacy support


• STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) support


• Broadening Horizons

We mobilise community and workplace volunteers to support schools and early childhood services. We also advocate for and seek to influence policy change to reduce inequity in education.

In 2020 Ardoch supported the education of 14,512 students facing disadvantage in 153 early years, primary and secondary school partners in Melbourne's West, South East and Central regions, Greater Dandenong, Geelong, Ballarat, Western Sydney, Brisbane and Perth.
