Independent Review of the Australian Research Council Act 2001 Final Report

 

Today, the Hon Jason Clare MP, Minister for Education, released the Final Report of the Independent Review panel: Trusting Australia’s Ability: Review of the Australian Research Council Act 2001.

The Review was announced by the Minister on 30 August 2022 to consider the role and purpose of the ARC within the Australian research system. This is the first comprehensive review of the ARC since its establishment in 2001.

The ARC’s Chief Executive Officer, Ms Judi Zielke PSM, said while a response to the findings of the Review is a matter for the Government, the report is a strong endorsement of the role and positive impact the ARC has had on Australia’s research capability over the last twenty years.

“The ARC has a proud history of supporting the highest calibre research in Australia. We will continue to work with our partners and stakeholders to support innovative and impactful research for the advancement of all Australians”, Ms Zielke said.

The Report can be found at: Review of the Australian Research Council Act 2001 - Department of Education, Australian Government.
