Australia's location and landscape are dynamic

Geology and geography are continually changing

The technology rapidly transforming our lives 
Requires an increasing level of accuracy
to address the opportunities and challenges that face our nation

Geoscience Australia understands that positioning has never been so important.

Location is the context that gives information meaning 
It is how we link our past and our present
And navigate the path to tomorrow

We need to monitor the state of our landscape
So we can respond to both short and long term changes to our unique environment

How do we benefit from fundamental geographic information?

We look beyond our once limiting horizons
Measuring with increasing accuracy and precision
to facilitate innovations to drive our future economy
And the technologies that our lives depend on

This is the work of Geoscience Australia

It maps the shape of the nation, 
Supporting national development, infrastructure, and our ability to respond to natural hazards

Its work underpins the positioning and navigation systems for Australia 
Guiding everything from mining trucks and harvesters to motorists and aircraft.

Through satellites, it observes the entire Australian landscape over time
Informing decisions on natural resource management and water security

Australia needs to be well positioned 

To keep pace with the global community 

Using technology that can capture our changing world

To navigate the challenges of today and tomorrow
