Help us restore investment in Australian science.
Australia is at a defining moment for its future. Despite a long history of world-leading discoveries, Australia's science system is going backwards – at the very moment the world is moving forward, fast.
Artificial intelligence, clean energy, advanced manufacturing, biotechnology, quantum – these are not optional extras. They are the foundations of a secure, prosperous and self-reliant nation. A country that cannot generate its own knowledge cannot determine its own future.
The discoveries that will power that future depend on backing Australian researchers now. Your voice can make the difference. Ask your MP to commit to restoring investment in Australian science.
Australia is falling behind - and the gap is widening

Our peers are moving forward. We are not.
The longer we wait, the harder the climb back becomes.
It's time to back Australia's ability and restore investment in science.
Science done here is science done right
Nine in 10 Australians believe science is a force for good that makes our lives better, safer and healthier.
When we produce our own scientific research on home soil, we can trust in how it's done and what it delivers. It strengthens our national security and our ability to solve our own uniquely Australian problems, rather than relying on the rest of the world.
Australian science has already changed the world. See how – and what's at risk if we stop backing it.
