WA Government science research

A directory of science research in the Western Australian Government.

For more than a century, public sector scientists have worked to improve the health, wealth and knowledge of our community.

They have revolutionised scientific development and discoveries through rigorous research, as well as maintained vital services which bolster the quality of our health, food and environment.

Science plays a vital role in the public sector by developing and strengthening our key industries, delivering better products for our export markets and contributing to our economic growth.

Collaboration is a critical aspect of successful science research endevours. Building and enhancing strategic links with key local, national and international players in the science field is fundamental to progress new scientific endevours.

Many of the departments listed in the directory are working in partnership with universities, private sector enterprises and other government agencies throughout Australia and the world.
 
The Directory of science research in the Western Australian Government (PDF 1.4 MB) aims to raise the profile of the State Government science capability as well as create collaborative research opportunities between government, industry and academia.

The directory provides profiles of each Government Department involved in science research and includes key contacts; recent successes/outcomes; and key links with other organisations.
