Our vision
AERO's vision is for Australia to achieve excellence and equity in educational outcomes for all children and young people through effective use of evidence.
What we do
AERO helps bridge the gap between evidence and action. We:
- build and strengthen the evidence base
- translate evidence into clear insights and practical resources
- work with educators and decision-makers to support effective evidence use and implementation.
Our work spans practice and policy in early childhood education and care (ECEC) and schooling, including the government, Catholic and independent sectors.
By combining national reach with responsiveness to local contexts, we help make evidence relevant, trusted and usable so it can inform decisions that improve learning for all children and young people.
