The Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER), established in 1930, is an independent educational research organisation based in Camberwell, Victoria and with offices in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Dubai and India. ACER provides learning tools for students, manages a range of testing and assessment services for the Australian education community, and conducts research and analysis in the education sector.^[1]

ACER administers the Undergraduate Medicine and Health Sciences Admission Test (UMAT), a requirement for studying medicine in Australia. About 12,000 candidates sit the UMAT each year, seeking entry into medicine or other health science courses including physiotherapy, dentistry, oral health and pharmacy.^[2]
