Australian Council for Educational Research

ACER's mission is to create and promote research-based knowledge, products and services that can be used to improve learning across the life span. ACER is one of the world's leading educational research centres. Our goal is to support every learner, every learning professional, every learning institution and our learning society through our work. ACER has built a strong reputation as a provider of reliable support and expertise to education policymakers and professional practitioners since it was established in 1930. As an independent organisation, ACER generates its entire income through contracted research and development projects, and through developing and distributing products and services, with operating surplus directed back into research and development. ACER has experienced significant growth in recent years and now has more than 400 staff located in Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Dubai, Jakarta, London, New Delhi, Perth and Sydney.
