Overview

We are consulting on a proposed framework for the Australian Government’s National Quantum Strategy.

Quantum technologies present an exciting opportunity to:

  • accelerate Australia’s economic growth

  • support our long-term prosperity.

Australia has an established strength in quantum technologies. We have a concentration of research capability and applied technology success.

With strong foundations, the quantum opportunity for Australia is immense.

This consultation builds on insights from previous engagement, including a series of 4 roundtables led by Australia’s Chief Scientist, Dr Cathy Foley AO PSM.

Themes from earlier consultations were shaped into a set of objectives forming the proposed framework for Australia’s National Quantum Strategy.

We are seeking your feedback on the 7 proposed objectives. In particular:

  • Do the objectives align with the needs for a thriving Australian quantum industry?

  • Have any objectives or supporting initiatives been missed?

  • From these proposed objectives, what should the priorities be?

  • Which initiatives should be addressed first?

  • What are the key risks that would impact these objectives being met?

Virtual town hall
