 Welcome to ALEA Victoria
ALEA Victoria has a State Executive and two Local Councils. Together we provide high quality professional development for teachers and work with members to achieve the best possible literacy learning outcomes for all students. We also aim to provide a forum for open debate on language and literacy issues and to critique policy, program and pedagogical initiatives in Victoria.



Our Services include:
  • Professional Development - a range of events is offered throughout the year, in both metropolitan and regional areas.
  • National Conference – hosted by a different State or Territory each year. More information can be found on the conference website

Local council committees meet on a regular basis to plan and organise professional development events and provide a focus for professional conversation. Members are most welcome to participate in meetings on a regular or irregular basis.

    Doug MacLeod is a Melbourne writer who divides his time between working in TV and making books. He has worked with some of Australia's best comedians, and in 2008 the Australian Writers Guild awarded him the prestigious Fred Parsons prize for Outstanding Contribution to TV Comedy writing. He is happiest when he is writing books, but also has a lot of fun working as the script editor on the TV phenomenon Kath and Kim. He also wrote scripts for SeaChange, Dogstar (which he co-devised) and just about every TV sketch comedy show to come out in the late eighties and nineties. According to the biographical notes on his parody book Kevin the Troll, Doug’s hobbies are riding his bike, taking long walks and listening to music. He is of Norse descent and he has average looks. This means he is a biking, hiking, music-liking, not-so-striking former-Viking.”
