The Australian Science Media Centre (AusSMC) works to enhance the media’s coverage of science, for the benefit of all Australians. We provide the evidence and experts when science hits the headlines and administer the breaking science news portal for Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific – Scimex.org.

As an independent, not-for-profit charitable institution, financial support is crucial to ensure this important work can continue. The Centre relies on the generosity of the Australian community for funding. Media, academic institutions, government and industry all contribute to the funding of the Centre. To ensure the independence of the Centre, each sponsorship is capped at 10% of total operating costs.

Below is a list of current supporting organisations. The highest tier of support is Foundation support followed by Gold and Affiliates. We also accept project support and tax-deductible donations. For more information on how you can support us, visit our supporters page or donation page.
