CSIRO is under threat
Stand with CSIRO staff and support Australian science and research!
CSIRO is Australia’s national science agency – from inventing wifi to the research that informs our pandemic and climate change responses – we all rely on their research and innovation every day.
However, CSIRO staff are facing widespread job cuts across the organisation - including Health and Biosecurity, Agriculture and Food, Manufacturing, Data 61, enterprise support and research positions.
Union members in CSIRO are raising the alarm and building public understanding and support for these critical jobs.
The CSIRO has embarked on deep and devastating job cuts to our national science agency.
With more than 800 jobs already gone, and another 300+ cuts announced. these cuts now surpass those delivered by the Abbott Government.
Labor rightly spoke out against CSIRO job cuts when Abbott was in power.
Now they’re in government, Labor needs to commit to urgent funding that stops the cuts and secures public science and research.
CSIRO undertakes incredibly important work that benefits Australian families, communities, and the world. Our scientists are protecting crops from disease, building national resilience in the face of a changing climate, strengthening our defences against biosecurity risks, and driving innovation in health and technology.
We are calling on the Albanese Government to act now to secure the future of CSIRO’s world-leading science and research.
