WELCOME TO THE TELEMATICS TRUST

The Telematics Course Development Fund (Telematics Trust for short) is committed to the development and use of new information and communication technologies that support innovative educational initiatives within Victoria.

The Trust provides unique funding opportunities to individuals, Educational Institutes, Government, Business and Not-for-Profit organisations that are exploring the possibilities of using information and communications technology for educational purposes.

The Trust is particularly interested in targeting and funding the application of information and communications technology (ICT) to learning processes that:

	Are in need of special attention
	Would be assisted by seeding grants
	Are not within the province of other funding bodies

See our Applicants section to learn more about the Trust’s funding priorities and how you can apply for a grant or a loan.
