Civics and citizenship education

 

Civics and citizenship education is helping students to learn about Australia's democratic heritage, the values underpinning our democracy, and how the Australian system of government and law operates, and explore what it means to be an Australian today.

The Discovering Democracy  External Site    website contains curriculum units, other online civics and citizenship education resources, professional learning, and case studies of good practice civics and citizenship education. There is also information about the national assessment for civics and citizenship education and Parliament@Work, a search facility with information about state, territory and Commonwealth parliamentarians and electorates.
