Geoscience Australia offers curriculum-linked experiences designed to immerse students in the wonders of Earth science. For students and teachers who can’t visit us in-person we offer virtual excursions to ensure no one misses out! Experienced educators deliver interactive learning experiences to explore our fascinating planet. The Education Program also includes on-site facilitated visits to our Education Centre, a wide range of classroom resources as well as professional learning for teachers.
Geoscience Australia is the national public sector geoscience organisation and based in Canberra. We provide trusted advice on the geology and geography of Australia and apply science and technology to describe and understand the Earth for the benefit of Australia. Specimens from the National Mineral and Fossil collection are on permanent display at Geoscience Australia.
