Policies that have their intended impact, are underpinned by evidence.
Given the rising contestability of ideas and claims, government needs, more than ever, trusted and independent expert advice to inform their decisions. The Australian Academy of Science - an independent learned academy - is uniquely positioned to fill this need.
The Academy convenes scientific knowledge through national and international experts in any field and draws on experienced staff working at the science-policy interface. Academy activities draw on the deep expertise within its Fellowship, which comprises over 600 of Australia's most accomplished scientists, and our extensive national and international scientific networks.
The Academy's science advice capability is agile and adaptable. Each policy challenge is unique and requires a tailored approach. Whether it's a rapid response to an emerging scientific issue or a long-term strategic challenge, our approach is designed to fit the specific requirements of the situation.
Harnessing our unique independence and convening power, the Academy integrates scientific understanding into policy formulation to support decision-makers.
