Virtual Excursions Australia

Virtual Excursions Australia is a collaborative network of Australian cultural and educational institutions that deliver interactive and immersive online learning experiences. Established to bridge the gap between educational content and remote learners, we offer virtual excursions, workshops, and live interactive sessions for schools, community groups, and the general public.

The platform features a diverse range of topics, including science, culture, history, and the arts, presented by experts and educators from museums, zoos, art galleries, and other institutions. Programs are designed to align with the Australian Curriculum, fostering engagement through multimedia presentations, live demonstrations, and real-time Q&A sessions.

Virtual Excursions Australia is dedicated to making quality educational content accessible regardless of location, promoting lifelong learning and connecting audiences with Australia’s rich cultural and scientific heritage.

Virtual Excursions Australia was founded at the 2012 QUESTnet conference in Cairns by Stephen Bancroft, Ben Newsome and Karen Player. We wanted a place where content providers could learn about the importance of video conferencing. The portal provided an opportunity to also promote the amazing organisation across Australia enabling distance learning.

This website is a virtual excursions portal where you can find out about Australian virtual excursion content providers and links to Australian and international booking systems.
