Plenary 2 Inspiring Australia: catalyst, irritant, opportunity or irrelevant

Graham Durant, as a Divisional Head in the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, has been a key voice in developing Inspiring Australia, the national science communication strategy for Australia. He will provide an overview of where this ambitious program is placed after a year of activity. All states and territories have lead agencies and most have officers to implement the various goals of Inspiring Australia. So it is timely for science communicators to hear what has been achieved and where is the program going.
