## Resource

Victoria Police is launching its first regional training academy in Mildura next year, offering 25 paid spots for a full 25-week program starting January 18 — no more need to travel to Melbourne. Recruits earn $84,060 plus allowances and 9 weeks paid leave, training identically to the main academy with everything from firearms to defensive tactics. Designed to fill vacancies in regional stations like Kerang and Swan Hill, the initiative targets locals in western Victoria and even border towns in NSW and SA. If successful, the academy will rotate locations annually, with trainers from Glen Waverley on standby. A second intake is already planned for late 2027 — apply by end of July 2025 to join a historic shift in regional policing. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
