Positioning Australia
Our position on the globe is essential to everyday life. Positioning allows us to locate ourselves in the world and get to where we want to go. Satellite positioning technologies have enabled the precise navigation and positioning we rely on at the touch of a button, from smartphones to autonomous vehicles.
Geoscience Australia is bringing the benefits of space-based technology down to Earth, through our precise positioning capability. Our vision is to help Australia prosper by fostering a world-leading positioning capability accessible to all Australians.

Initiative
Resourcing Australia’s Prosperity
Australia has a rich history in the exploration and development of resources. Geoscience Australia will comprehensively map Australia’s natural resources, accelerating the discovery of critical minerals and other resources necessary for the net zero transition. Precompetitive geoscience is vital to support Australia’s transition to a low carbon future, empower First Nations peoples and local communities, and enable responsible management of all resources.
A national 35-year, $3.4 billion initiative, led by Geoscience Australia (2024-59)
Mapping Australia’s resources for a sustainable future
Commenced on 1 July 2024
