Advisory Groups
ACARA has selected advisory group members with particular expertise to work alongside expert writers. These groups play an important role in the development of the Foundation to Year 12 Australian Curriculum in accordance with guiding documents approved by the ACARA Board.
The advisory groups provide valuable expert support to help develop various elements of the Australian Curriculum and include those with a focus on equity and diversity, specific learning areas, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and students with disabilities.
The advisory groups include:
English – Senior Secondary Mathematics – Senior Secondary Science – Senior Secondary History – Senior Secondary Students with Disability Equity and Diversity English as an Additional Language or Dialect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Advisory Group Geography – Foundation to Year 12 Languages – Foundation to Year 12 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages Technologies Health and Physical Education
Significant consultation with key stakeholders occurs throughout the curriculum development process to ensure the writers and advisory group develop a curriculum that meets the needs of all students. Located throughout Australia, the writers and advisory group communicate closely with each other and ACARA through face to face meetings, national consultation meetings, teleconferences and online mechanisms.
