Impact

The Centre for Sustainable AI is a global consultancy advancing safe and responsible emerging technologies to create sustainable business value. The Centre supports organisations across the full journey from ideation and strategy through to implementation, governance, and long-term sustainability. As a trusted advisory partner, it provides leadership, strategy, governance, and sustainability expertise across artificial intelligence, quantum computing, cybersecurity, blockchain, the Internet of Things, metaverse technologies, neurotechnology, and other emerging technology domains that are critical to building resilient, innovative, and future-ready businesses.

The Centre for Consciousness Studies advances interdisciplinary research into consciousness as a non-local, non-derivative, and irreducible aspect of existence. Grounded in a quantum-theoretic framework, the Centre explores how consciousness may relate to fundamental physical dynamics such as time, energy, particles, and quantum entanglement, and argues that future theories of reality must engage consciousness as more than an epiphenomenon. Through this work, the Centre seeks to contribute to a deeper scientific, philosophical, and technological understanding of consciousness, with implications for the responsible development of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, quantum systems, and biological systems that are intelligent, ethically aligned, and experientially grounded.

Meta61 is an Australian think tank and advisory working at the convergence of artificial intelligence and emerging technology, where AI is the cornerstone and technologies such as cybersecurity, immersive and spatial computing, blockchain, robotics, remote sensing, and smart systems orbit around it. What sets Meta61 apart is its interdependent lens: rather than treating technology and governance as separate disciplines, it holds them as one, uniting deep technical capability with standards-grade governance so that the systems organisations adopt are trusted by design. Taking its name from Australia's country code, Meta61 builds national capability while contributing to the global frameworks shaping trustworthy technology, working alongside enterprises, governments, and the world's peak bodies to make digital and AI transformation secure, sustainable, and sovereign.

The Centre for Climate and Disaster Resilience is a collaborative think tank committed to enhancing Australia’s ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from climate-driven natural disasters. Born out of the catastrophic 2019–20 summer season—characterised by unprecedented bushfires, floods, droughts, and extreme heat—the Centre unites researchers, practitioners, and experts to tackle the complex, interrelated risks intensified by climate change. Positioned at the nexus of science, policy, and community engagement, the Centre fosters evidence-based thinking and cross-sector collaboration. It synthesises insights across disciplines to develop actionable resilience strategies. Guided by First Nations peoples' knowledge, systems thinking, open data principles, and inclusive community engagement, the Centre prioritises diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of its work. It promotes forward-looking planning that embeds resilience into infrastructure, land use, and development decisions. As a hub for thought leadership, the Centre plays a vital role in shaping a cohesive, inclusive, and future-ready vision for climate and disaster resilience across Australia.
