The Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) is a Melbourne-based, global not-for-profit focused on improving learning through research and assessment. For more than 95 years, it has partnered with educators and education systems worldwide to produce high-quality research, develop trusted assessment and measurement tools, and translate evidence into practical insights for classrooms and beyond. Its work spans early learning through higher education and professional assessment, supporting better decisions at every stage of learning and covering large-scale international studies to classroom-ready resources. Its customers are educators and education systems seeking to improve learning outcomes and equity by applying evidence to policy and practice. The organization operates in the education research services sector, turning research results into tools and insights that support learners and systems to thrive. In December 2025, ACER received a commendation at the GESS Awards for its assessment work and for strengthening inclusion and equitable practice, particularly through adaptive testing.
