Australia strives to be a responsible global citizen committed to safe and secure operations in space and on Earth. Our aim includes transforming and growing a globally respected Australian space sector that meets international obligations and norms. 

Space sustainability, responsibility and safety are at the core of achieving this goal.

Australia is supporting the peaceful use and exploration of outer space, including through regulation and the development of innovative technology solutions.
