The SKA Observatory (SKAO) is an intergovernmental organisation tasked with building and operating the world’s largest radio telescopes.

AusSRC is Australia’s portion of this international network and has been funded - by the Australian Government through the Department of Industry, Science, and Resources (DISR) - $63 million from FY 2022/23 to 2030/31, to establish and build capability to support the Australian and international SKA science communities, thereby ushering in the next era of astronomical discovery and advanced data processing.

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Curtin University, Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre, and The University of Western Australia (UWA) are the four foundation partners formally collaborating, through an unincorporated joint venture agreement, to support and develop the AusSRC into a long-term national facility.
