The Australian Centre for Geomechanics (ACG) was established in 1992 to promote research and education in the field of geomechanics for Australia’s extractive resource industries. The aim of the ACG is to ensure safer working environments for all resources (human and capital) and to add value to this most important of Australian industries.

The ultimate goal of the ACG is the effective application of the principles and practices of geomechanics in industry by personnel with a commensurate level of training. This is achieved via research, education and training. Quality research and the subsequent transfer of developed technology will ensure that industry is aware of the latest developments in geomechanics.
