STEM industry is the foundation of innovation, economic resilience and sovereign capability – but it’s under unsustainable strain. The three urgent priorities that must be addressed are:</span></p>

<li>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14px">Immediate stabilisation through CPI-indexed increases to research grant programs and agencies</span></p>
</li><li>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14px">Investment to secure Australia’s crucial STEM workforce</span></p>
</li><li>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14px">The strengthening of STEM education in the face of declining student participation</span></p>
</li></ol>
<p style="text-align: left;"><br>
</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14px">The clearest demonstration of that strain was the 350 science job cuts CSIRO announced in November last year, which adds to 800 jobs cut in the previous 18 months. This week, a Senate inquiry

and resourcing for our national science agency, and it’s a sobering read. STA gave evidence to the inquiry in an in-person hearing, and

we highlighted a new workforce analysis undertaken by STA. It shows that one in three STEM professionals are expecting to leave the sector, 42 per cent of Australia’s Bachelor-qualified STEM workforce are born overseas and a 10 per cent decline in the number
of Year 12 students studying STEM over the past decade.</span></p>
