The Academy is modelled after the Royal Society and operates under a Royal Charter; as such, it is an independent body, but it has government endorsement. The Academy Secretariat is in Canberra, at the Shine Dome. The objectives of the Academy are to promote science and science education through a range of activities. It has defined four major program areas: recognition of outstanding contributions to science education and public awareness science policy international relations The Academy also runs the 22 National Committees for Science which provide a forum to discuss issues relevant to all the scientific disciplines in Australia.
