The ATAR Notes Story

About Us

ATAR Notes is a leading Australian independent publisher of high school study materials, produced by our dedicated team of editors and authors.

Each year, over 250,000 students use our resources to help them study. We offer printed revision books, text guides, flashcards and digital resources.

How it started...

We started in 2015, when we held our first revision lecture series, presented by some of Australia's top recent Year 12 graduates.

We aimed to offer students a set of revision notes to accompany the lectures: something more succinct, approachable, and affordable than a textbook.

We asked our lecturers to look back at their own subject notes, to collate their best tips and tricks, and create the kind of resource they wished they’d had themselves.

We started off with just 7 subject notes, and these sold out almost instantly! Soon we had students asking to buy our notes outside of the lecture events, and for a wider range of subjects.

Where we are today

We are still true to our founding goal: we create resources for students, by students.

As such, our range of books is constantly growing thanks to high-achieving recent graduates who share in our belief that knowledge shines brightest when it is shared! This also gives our books a unique blend of clear and concise content with the voice of someone who has excelled in their studies and knows exactly what it takes to do well.

Our publishing team of passionate educators and subject experts are driven by a desire to provide affordable, high-quality resources that unlock students’ confidence and capabilities.
