Sponsorship And Collaboration

Interested in partnering with the department? Contact us to find out how you can sponsor a department program or if you have a collaboration idea that can help us achieve our plan for NSW public education.

The Business Engagement team also offers sponsorship and collaboration advice and support for department staff.

Expressions of Interest (EOIs)

We strive to excel and invite the best ideas from everyone in and outside the department.

The department publishes Expressions of Interest to seek sponsorship and support for state-wide school education programs that add significant value to students' learning experiences, and support the plan for NSW public education.

To receive notifications please visit buy NSW and register as a supplier. You can then set up notifications for all sponsorship and partnership opportunities in the Education category (contact NSW Procurement Service Centre on 1800 679 289 for assistance if required).

All sponsorships must comply with the Commercial arrangements, sponsorship and donations policy and procedures and sponsors will be assessed on the criteria outlined below.
