A strategy to inspire innovation

Underpinned by our values and aligned to our mission, our strategic plan outlines our priorities for the coming years.

Our plan

AARNet is Australia’s national research and education network, a leading provider of digital infrastructure and services for the research and education sector in Australia. AARNet is a not-for-profit organisation, established in 1989 as a joint venture between CSIRO and Australian universities, who are all AARNet shareholders today.

Since its inception, AARNet has provided highly specialised services, from telecommunications to collaboration platforms and, more recently, cyber security services, to enable researchers, educators, and students to thrive in the digital age.

Underpinned by our values and aligned to our mission, the AARNet 2023 - 2027 Strategic Plan outlines our priorities for the coming years. The plan identifies six pillars that will guide our work - network, community, products, security, sustainability, and people.

By focusing on these key areas, AARNet will continue to provide world-class digital infrastructure and services for research and education and play a leading role in shaping the future of digital innovation and collaboration in this important sector.


OUR VALUES: ONE TEAM. CREATIVITY. TRUST.
