MEGT history

MEGT (Australia) Ltd (MEGT) is an Australian not-for-profit organisation and is driven by strong, people-centred values.

The organisation seeks positive change and innovative solutions in the areas of employment, training and education and is committed to being Australia’s leading training and support services provider.

MEGT acknowledges the differing requirements of both its community and commercial obligations.

MEGT (Australia) Ltd is our trading name and is no longer an acronym, in the same way the BHP Billiton, Qantas and NAB trading names have evolved. So when people ask, what does MEGT stand for, we talk about our proud history, starting in 1982 in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria as a Group Training Organisation named Outer East Group Training. As the organisation grew, the name changed to Melbourne East Group Training. Services expanded to deliver vocational training, Job Network, Job Placement and Australian Apprenticeships Support Services. Offices were established to support the whole of Victoria, NSW and today, right around Australia. There are currently 67 offices in every state of Australia.

The MEGT name has become recognised as an Australian leader in employment, education and training, apprenticeships and traineeships.

We keep the name MEGT (Australia) Ltd to recognise our heritage and community links and remind us that local people in local offices are the core of our existence. Wherever you are in Australia, we have people with local knowledge able to respond to you in person.

That's why we are big enough support you, yet small enough to know you.
