Amba Press, an independent Australian educational publisher renowned for cultivating new and exciting voices and authors, has acquired ACER Press, the publishing arm of the Australian Council for Educational Research – ACER, for an undisclosed amount. Amba Press specialises in producing contemporary educational resources tailored for both the home and classroom, aiming to transform how the next generation is raised and educated. ACER Press has long been an independent Australian educational publisher, recognised for its extensive catalogue of contemporary resources, including professional development materials and research-backed tools specifically designed for educators and students across various learning stages.
This strategic acquisition marks a significant expansion for Amba Press within the Australian educational publishing landscape. The integration of ACER Press's respected and research-informed catalogue allows Amba Press to deepen its existing robust portfolio, particularly in areas like high-impact teaching strategies, gifted and talented education, and data-informed leadership. The move is expected to generate considerable synergies, broadening the reach and scope of resources available, from early childhood to secondary school, encompassing teacher resources, parenting guides, and student study aids.
The acquisition firmly reinforces Amba Press's dedication to empowering Australian educators and learners with a diverse array of high-quality, relevant, and evidence-based materials. By combining the strengths and distinct offerings of both publishing houses, Amba Press aims to further enhance its market position and provide an even wider selection of practical learning tools and essential professional development opportunities. The newly combined entity is well-positioned to continue driving innovation in educational content and delivery, supporting the evolving needs of the Australian education community and fostering impactful learning experiences for students nationwide.
