The past 50 years has seen Cambridge University Press Australia grow alongside the local education system, developing resources to meet the needs of Australian teachers and students. Our commitment to providing authoritative, locally developed content has seen us become a leader in educational resources across a range of subjects.

Our latest science publication is a brand new series: Cambridge Science for the Victorian Curriculum.
