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.
Since opening our doors in Richmond, Victoria, in 1994, Officeworks has been passionate about helping make bigger things happen.
Our products support Australian households and businesses to work, learn, create and connect. From technology, stationery and furniture to art supplies, learning and development resources and services like Print & Create and on-site tech support with Geeks2U.
Customers know and trust us for our commitment to everyday low prices, widest range and great service, no matter how they choose to shop.
People and the planet are at the heart of what we do. We recognise we have an important role to play in the lives of our team members, and in the local communities where we live and work.
