Australia’s long-term economic prosperity and a healthy society depend on science and research.

But in a highly competitive modern world, our scientists and researchers will fall behind if we don’t give them the support needed for their vital work

Our nation currently lacks a long-term, strategic vision for science and all forms of research that makes the most of our natural talent, and helps our economy and society flourish.

Australia research organisations representing hundreds of thousands of career scientists and researchers have come together calling for all-party, non-partisan backing for local science and research. Will you take a stand with them?

Email your MP today asking that they show their support for science and all forms of research, and endorse six principles to help build a stronger, smarter Australia.

This is a critical time for Australian science and research. In a highly competitive world, to stand still for too long is to move backwards and risk losing opportunities for our future.
