Queensland Government R&D expenditure reports
For more than 25 years, the Queensland Government has made significant investments in science and research, which has laid a strong foundation from which we can address future challenges.
From 2004-2023, the Office of the Queensland Chief Scientist (OQCS) worked with Queensland Government departments and a number of statutory authorities to collect detailed information on the money spent by government on research and development (R&D). These reports provide financial information on Queensland Government research and development investments as well as exploring the partnerships and collaborations that existed across government and with external partners over these years.
