Parliament & Civics Education Rebate

The PACER is a funding rebate program provided by the Australian Government benefiting students living further than 150 kilometres from Canberra. To be eligible your school must:

• Travel more than 150km to the National Capital.

• Attend educational programs being offered by the National Capital Attractions, as outlined in the website.

• Visit The National Capital Educational Toursim Project website for the latest information on the guidelines, forms and the zones. www.ncetp.org.au
  

Along with this you are required to publish a letter in the school newsletter acknowledging the Australian Government's assistance and undertake a small project task on your return to school. It's that simple!


A more detailed set of guidelines and an application form can be obtained by contacting the National Capital Educational Tourism Project on 02 6162 4460.


Currently funding is available for schools travelling up to 30 June 2010. The National Capital Educational Tourism Project is working on proposals to extend the rebate beyond this date.
