About Us

WHO WE ARE

Pearson is Australia’s leading publisher of textbooks and other learning products. We offer educators and students an un-rivalled range of products which quite literally change lives.

As part of the Pearson Plc global publishing business we are committed to helping people learn at every stage of their life, from primary school all the way through to professional studies.

Through our products and our exceptional level of service and support for educators, we help people realise the power of education in thousands of ways.

OUR VALUES
Whilst our products and accompanying technologies are constantly evolving, our values at Pearson remain constant. In everything we do, we aspire to be Brave, Imaginative and Decent.

We know that imagination and vision are worth more than paper and ink and that decency is a hall mark of any good relationship with a customer. The right to education is a dearly held value in our society and we treat our guiding values with the same intensity when we work with Australian teachers and students.

OUR CUSTOMERS
Naturally, our customers have come to expect Pearson to have the most comprehensive range of teaching and learning products in the country, including increasingly sophisticated instructor support products for tasks such as student revision, homework generation and assessment.

If you are an educator, you can expect flexibility and responsiveness from the most talented and highly trained people in the industry.

Almost two million Australian students use a product from us every year, yet we are not alone in helping educate Australians. Our goal is to provide the best possible products for teachers and students so that we are unique in offering better quality products, better teaching tools and better service.

OUR PROMISES - we won’t make promises that we can’t keep
You can expect more from Pearson in terms of honesty and integrity and we are serious about keeping our promises: we won’t make promises that we can’t keep just to make a short term sale.

With 20 commissioning editors to work with our Australian authors, we carefully develop all our products so that they are accurate and accessible. We know that students need textbooks to be available in time for classes, websites need to be live, and technology solutions need to work.

We promise to find solutions to customer enquiries and problems faster than anyone else in the industry.

We want you to enjoy a great teaching and learning experience. Give us the opportunity to exceed your expectations.
