ACARA leads national collaboration to produce the Foundation to Year 12 Australian Curriculum.
The Australian Curriculum sets consistent high standards for what all young Australians should learn as they progress through schooling. Across Foundation –
Year 12, 30 subjects have been developed and published on the Australian Curriculum website
All states and territories have commenced implementation of the Australian Curriculum. More information about implementation is provided on the Foundation– Year 10

ACARA is continuing to develop subjects within the Australian Curriculum, including the languages and work studies curricula. ACARA is also developing materials to support teachers as the curriculum is being implemented.
