Pines Learning (formerly known as Donvale Living & Learning Centre) is a community based not-for-profit learning organisation, which provides high quality diverse activities and lifelong learning opportunities in a supportive environment to encourage, empower and enrich the community.

We offer small classes, qualified and experienced tutors, on-site childcare and nationally accredited certificate courses.

ARE YOU CURRENTLY EMPLOYED IN THE CHILDREN’S SERVICES OR THE AGED CARE INDUSTRIES AND REQUIRE/WANT A FORMAL QUALIFICATION?

A new Government initiative “Productivity Places Program” could enable you to obtain a qualification in either of these two fields for FREE.  The Productivity Places Program is funded by the Australian Government.
