What We Do

In addition to being a sectoral leader in policy influence, ATN champions the contributions of our universities to industry, the wider higher-education sector and public affairs.

We invest $1.7 billion in research annually and forge strategic research partnerships and industry alliances. In turn, creating new opportunities for jobs in the Australian and global economy, and helping solve some of the world’s most pressing issues.

Our contributions to the policy debate at all levels of government, across the political spectrum, are highly trusted and valued, reflecting expertise accumulated over our 25 years in operation.

ATN is also proud to deliver innovative education programs with distinctive outcomes, giving graduates skills and capabilities to envision and shape the future. Our deep commitment to equity, inclusion and social justice continues to drive our mission to effect positive change.

We believe our universities are the engine room of new ideas that will shape Australia’s future and, therefore, we exist to advocate for their growth, impact and success.
