Submission—2023–24 Federal Budget
On 25 January 2023, the Academy made a submission to the 2023–24 Federal Budget.
The Academy recommends that the Australian Government:

- undertakes a comprehensive and independent review of the Australian science and research sector to identify areas for improvement and potential efficiencies
- increases the frequency and extent of measurement of science and R&D in Australia to provide better data for policymaking and decision-making.
