In doing so, we will enhance Australia’s future economic growth in a digitally enabled global economy. AustCyber exists to grow Australia's cyber security ecosystem, export our cyber security to the world, and make Australia the leading centre for cyber education.

In 2021, AustCyber joined the Stone & Chalk Group, together focusing on creating the next generation of cyber-secure emerging tech companies, to drive Australia's economy into the next decade and beyond.

AustCyber is part of the Australian Government's Industry Growth Centres Initiative, which aims to tap new sources of economic growth by maximising the country's competitive advantage in six knowledge-driven, high-value sectors.
