For the latest emergency warnings, please go to the VicEmergency website: Incidents and Warnings – VicEmergency.
Site closures for schools and early childhood services can be caused by several factors, including:
- emergencies and incidents
- pre-emptive bushfire preparedness actions
- access issues
- staff shortages.
This page is updated each morning and evening when there is an emergency that requires schools and early childhood services to close, relocate or learn from home.
This page is not a live feed. It provides point in time information about schools and early childhood services that have been reported as closed. There may be more sites that are closed, but they haven't been reported to the department.
Schools and early childhood services will communicate directly with parents and carers if they are closed. Please direct any queries about closures to your school or early childhood service.
For details on reported early childhood closures, please refer to the ACECQA website: Service and temporary closure information
