PACCER, the Procurement and Contracting Centre for Education and Research, is an initiative of the Victorian Government Purchasing Board and the Office of Public Employment. It was established in late 1997 as a brokerage service specialising in procurement and contract management training.

It provides training which is practical, accessible, and responsive. PACCER courses are designed to maximise immediate skills transfer to the workplace and apply Adult Learning Principles.

PACCER skills training courses are mapped against the Public Sector Procurement and Contracting competency standards (PSETA National Training Package) and allow participants the option to be assessed and receive formal recognition against these national standards.

Victoria is also the founding member and coordinator of a national PACCER network which currently includes the WA, NT, ACT, SA and TAS Governments.
