Its role Funder
The Australian Government Department of Industry, Science and Resources serves as the primary federal body responsible for policy development in industry, science, and resources sectors within Australia. It focuses on fostering innovation, supporting manufacturing industries, and managing natural resources to promote sustainable economic growth.
Operating from its base in Canberra, the department implements national strategies for critical minerals, energy transition, and technological advancement. It provides funding through various initiatives, including grants for supply chain improvements and industrial projects, to enhance Australia's competitiveness in global markets.
The organization collaborates with private sector entities, state governments, and international partners to address challenges in chemical processing, resource extraction, and scientific research. Its programs aim to build resilience in supply chains, particularly in essential materials like chemicals and industrial gases.
As part of the Australian government, it does not engage in commercial activities but rather supports the broader industry through regulatory oversight, research funding, and strategic investments in infrastructure and capabilities. This positions it as a central player in Australia's efforts to develop a robust and diversified industrial base.
