Parliament and Civics Education Rebate

The Parliament and Civics Education Rebate (PACER) program is an Australian Government initiative that provides financial assistance to support Years 4–12 Students learning about national democratic, historical and cultural institutions in Canberra.

PACER improves the understanding of Australian democracy and provides young people with skills they need to succeed as active and involved citizens.

All PACER-approved institutions provide education programs directly aligned with the Australian Curriculum.

PACER rebates are available to all eligible Australian Students including homeschooled Students.

Rebates are allocated on a per-Student basis – dependent on criteria that can include distance from a school’s campus to the Canberra GPO, a school’s remoteness, and its socioeconomic circumstances.

Rebates are paid directly to schools once they have met PACER eligibility requirements.

For more information on the PACER program, and to apply for PACER, go to pacer.org.au.
