August 1965 Association Society or Membership Organisation Chemical Industries Education The Royal Australian Chemical Institute established a national division of Chemical Education in 1965.

From the website, 16 March 2026:

'The Division of Chemical Education is composed of RACI members who are actively working to improve the teaching and learning of chemistry at both the secondary and tertiary levels in Australia and internationally.


The Division of Chemical Education was founded in the late 1960s and is one of the earliest-established chemical education-focused groups in the world. The early activities centred around outreach activities in the broader community and targeting the secondary education level to promote interest in, and understanding of, chemistry. Over time, several activities shifted into state branch Chemical Education groups, and the division provides support to these groups to create activites and events for secondary teachers and students (including titration competition heats, crystal growing and lecture tours). In recent years, the division has worked to provide opportunities for the expansion of its networks and to support collaborations between educators in Australia..'
