This is not just a headline. It is a warning about Australia’s future.
Australia invests just 1.69% of GDP in research and development, far below the OECD average of 2.72%. On our current trajectory, Australia could rank towards the bottom of the OECD in the next five years.

Restoring investment in science is nation-building.

Science gives us cheaper, cleaner energy.
Better medicine.
Stronger industries, higher value jobs,
And ideas we can sell to the world.

This is not about short-term repair, and it’s not about living in the past. It is about building a strong, ambitious science system Australia needs for the future.

Dr Doug Hilton AO FAA delivered his National Press Club address today, discussing how sovereign science can help Australia navigate the decade ahead.

We cannot afford to lose more expertise, capability or time.

Professor Matthew England’s ocean research is built on decades of dedication to understanding how Antarctic waters and Southern Ocean currents shape our climate.

Australia cannot afford to lose knowledge like this. But our science system is failing to retain the people we need.

Restoring Australia’s investment in research and development is where we need to start if we want to benefit from the benefits of AI.

But while countries around the world are investing more in R&D to secure their futures, Australia is investing less than we were a decade ago (and falling).

That’s why we need your voice. Head to restorescience.com.au/email or link in bio and complete our ready-made form to send an email to your MP. It takes less than a minute.
