Who is VALBEC?

The Victorian Adult Literacy Basic Education Council (VALBEC) is the peak body for the adult literacy field in Victoria, established in 1978, following the formation of ACAL (Australian Council for Adult Literacy).

We are managed by a general committee comprised of volunteer members from a range of adult education settings.

Our members come from a range of contexts: ACFE providers across the state, TAFE Colleges, LANT programs, WELL programs, tertiary students and affiliated organisations with an interest in adult literacy. A contracted Administrative Officer co-ordinates our business operations.

What is our mission?

VALBEC aims to lead the adult literacy field through identifying issues and facilitating positive change. This is achieved through:

• Fine Print Journal

• Annual Conference

• Networking - making connections

• sharing information - regular email newsletter updates in "e-valbec news"

• promoting best practice

• Professional Development
