For a century, CSIRO has helped Australia tackle its biggest challenges through science.
As Australia's national science agency, our Corporate Plan 2026–27 sets out how we'll continue that work into the future, bringing together our science, people, infrastructure, facilities and services to deliver impact for Australia.
Delivering impact for Australia
Our Corporate Plan is built around 4 objectives that guide our priorities, investments and decision-making, providing a shared direction across our organisation.
This year's plan places a stronger focus on impact, reinforcing our commitment to delivering science and technology that benefits Australia and supports a productive, sustainable, healthy and secure future.
Supporting this is a clearer representation of our 6 Research Areas, which bring together our capabilities and expertise to help maximise the impact of our science.
Celebrating a Centenary. Shaping what’s next.
As we celebrate 100 years of CSIRO, this year's Corporate Plan reflects both where we've come from and where we're headed next.
Throughout the plan, you'll find archival stories and imagery celebrating a century of scientific achievement and national impact. You'll also see how our Research Areas are helping focus our efforts on the challenges and opportunities that matter most to Australia's future.
Together, they provide greater clarity across our research portfolio and help ensure we're directing our science where it can make the greatest difference for Australia.
