OCTEC Limited (formerly OCTEC Incorporated) is a not-for-profit, community organisation focused on delivering advocacy and case management services to help lift people out of poverty and dependence. OCTEC's work in this regard is supported by our delivery of employment, education and training services.
With sites and staff located across Central West New South Wales, and a track record of delivering services throughout the state, OCTEC offers genuine opportunities for disadvantaged people to be trained and supported in finding and maintaining work. OCTEC firmly believes that vocational training and meaningful work have the potential to change people's lives for the better, helping them move from dependency to resiliency and independence. A key to OCTEC's success has been the tailoring of services according to individual and local circumstances, ensuring that we have continually evolved as an organisation throughout our 34 years of operation.
