Canberra
PACER
The Australian Government understands the importance of a Canberra educational tour within the civics and citizenship curriculum. It encourages and supports Australian schools to partake by offering a financial rebate to all schools that visit Canberra in Years 4 to 12.
The PACER rebate ranges from $20 – $260 per student and is calculated based on the distance from your school to Canberra. Schools need to visit four key attractions including Parliament House and the Australian War Memorial to qualify.
We design tours that meet government regulations and can assist with your PACER application. Take a look at our Canberra itinerary or visit the PACER website for more information.
