Abstract
ANSTO – the Australian Nuclear Science
and Technology Organisation – is home
to Australia’s nuclear expertise. ANSTO
employs over 1,100 people in southwest
Sydney, and supplies Australia with
outstanding nuclear research, medicine
and technology capabilities.
The organisation provides policy advice
to Government on all matters relating
to nuclear science, technology and
engineering. It supports Government in
undertaking its international roles and
obligations.
It also undertakes research and pursues
innovation in areas aligned with the
national research priorities and those that
have the potential to deliver key outcomes
to support Australians and Australian
industry.
ANSTO strives to achieve key outcomes
in publishing scientific research, securing
intellectual property, training research
students, developing software, providing
engineering design and services, and
consulting for industry.
Innovation is critical to increasing
Australia’s productivity and
competitiveness. The Australian
Government invested over $9 billion
in science research and innovation in
the 2010-2011 financial year and this
investment is evident through the
landmark science infrastructure Australian
scientists can now access at ANSTO.
