In Australia governesses supervise lessons provided by
various schools of distance education. Often our work places are
in isolated regions, on pastoral stations. Each day a governess
heads to the ‘schoolroom’, which could be a caravan, cottage or a boat,
to supervise the children. Govies are a unique part of remote
Australia.
Governesses Australia was an initiative of three different School of the Air governess groups from around Australia. We aim to network Govies across Australia, to gain recognition and unity.
Governess Australia is dedicated to supporting families, governesses and childcare workers in the Australian Outback. Governess Australia's JobBoard offers an employment advertising service, the Schoolhouse gives advice and links to help in your profession and the Grapevine provides a social network for living in the outback. There are many other parts which help support and network the Distance Education and rural community.

A
neighbour and friend to my family, a
supporter of all those trying to make a difference to
education in the bush.
Robert Seekamp
57 years old - 21 June 2010
A life taken tragically but
leaving a never ending legacy.
Forever remembered for your dedication to
your family, friends
and community.
Your presence
will be sadly missed in our community and our club.
Life is eternal, and love is
immortal,
and death is only a horizon;
and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
