For more than a century, we've been improving the lives of people everywhere with our science. Since we started life as the Advisory Council of Science and Industry in 1916, we've advanced Australia with a range of inventions and innovations that have had significant positive impact on the lives of people around the world. These include fast WiFi, polymer banknotes, the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet, and Aerogard, just to name a few. We work with industry, government and the research community to turn science into solutions to address Australia's greatest challenges, including food security and quality; sustainable energy and resources; health and wellbeing; resilient and valuable environments; future industries; and a secure Australia and region.

We recognise the skills, dedication and diversity of our employees, whether they are working in the Red Centre, the Top End or in one of our remote or regional communities. The Territory is a place of opportunity and we offer exciting careers across a range of sectors. We value innovation and understand that our employees are our biggest asset, which is why we are big believers in maintaining a work-life balance. We, as a government, are working hard to improve the lives of all Territorians. This includes laying the foundations of what is likely to be the biggest period of growth in the Territory’s history, with a strong focus on developing Northern Australia. It’s an exciting time to be a Territorian, and unlocking the full potential of Northern Australia will boost Australia’s prosperity - increasing exports and employment to ensure Australia’s position among the world’s top economies is protected. Join us as we plan for the future of the Territory, the future of North, and the future of Australia.
