The Australian Government is now operating in line with Caretaker Conventions, pending the outcome of the 2025 federal election.

Overview

The Australian Space Agency aims to grow and transform a globally respected national space industry. To achieve our broader goal of tripling the size of the space sector to $12 billion and creating around 20,000 extra jobs by 2030, we are helping businesses participate in new local and global markets with funding and grant programs.

We are consulting on the nature of intended or desired near-term Australian space missions. This will help us develop an overview of the ambitions and plans of the Australian space industry.

Your information will also:

  • inform upcoming funding opportunities, such as those under the Moon to Mars initiative
  • ensure opportunities align with the space industry’s intended or desired mission activities
  • shape other potential future opportunities for space access
