Founded in 1984, the Outdoor Education Group (OEG) is an independent not-for-profit organisation focusing on Outdoor Experiential Learning. We encourage our students and participants to learn through experiences encountered during Outdoor Journeys. We operate in a wide range of locations throughout Eastern Australia.

OUR VISION:

We envision a world where more people think and act to support: positive relationships with themselves; dynamic, healthy communities; and the sustainability of life.

OUR MISSION:

To deliver excellence in Outdoor Education through partnerships with our clients, in order to prepare young people for the personal, social and environmental challenges in their lives.

OUR VALUES:

We encourage respect and taking responsibility for self, others and the natural world.

We work with a large number of Schools and Tertiary Institutions delivering a variety of curriculum based Outdoor Education. OEG custom-designs outdoor learning programs to suit our client’s educational parameters. Each school decides its learning outcomes which OEG then determines a location, style and program to suit, in full consultation.

Our expertise is in fully staffed, equipped and resourced bush and journey based programs, with a high level of pre and post program education, evaluation, support and interaction.

OEG has administrative and operational bases in Eildon, Victoria and Moss Vale, NSW. We run programs in a diverse range of environments throughout Australia.

OEG has over 140 permanent staff serving 20,000 students a year in partnership with over 80 Schools throughout Victoria and New South Wales. In addition OEG provides training for outdoor educators in conjunction with Swinburne University and TAFE NSW Western Institute through delivery of Traineeships, Certificate IV and Diploma courses.
