We’re delighted to announce an extension of our partnership with the La Trobe University Bendigo Pioneers Football Club into 2025.

With a new look for the club, we’re excited to see what a renewed partnership will bring to the community.

‘Our organisations have a shared passion for sport and the development of regional and rural adults,' said Melanie Bish Pro Vice-Chancellor (Regional). 'There’s a real sense of achievement to have the Bendigo Pioneers program supported by leading researchers. The collaboration has already seen 90 practical placements for La Trobe students equating to over 18,000 hours of on-the-job experience.’
