About Us
The Australian Centre for Career Education is a national career education subject association, subject expert, and endorsed training provider of career practitioners by the peak industry body, The Career Industry Council of Australia (CICA). We are a not-for-profit educational charity and thought leader in career education and development.
Our mission is the advancement of career development and education for the public benefit of all Australians.

We have a proud history of service to the education and community sectors, governments, and the community. We have a national focus on the development and delivery of high-quality career resources, training, and consulting services across Australia.
