Summary

Astronomy Australia Limited (AAL) is a not-for-profit company, the members of which are Australian universities and research organisations with considerable research capacity in astronomy. By working with Australian observatories, astronomers in Australian universities and the Australian Government, it aims to advance the goals outlined in Australia in the era of global astronomy: the decadal plan for Australian astronomy 2016-2025 (2015) (and succeeding plans). Its mission is to facilitate access for Australian-based astronomers to the best infrastructure, encourage sharing of astronomical technical capacities to maximise their value, and inspire Australians with the nation's astronomical achievements. Astronomy Australia manages funding for a number of national schemes, enabling the construction, instrumentation development, upgrades, maintenance and operations of astronomy facilities and projects. It also represents Australian interests in international projects and partnerships; such as the European Southern Observatory, the Giant Magellan Telescope (Chile), and the Cherenkov Telescope Array (India).
