Our commitment to cyber

From 1 July 2024, AustCyber will transition from being a government-funded Industry Growth Centre to becoming fully integrated under the ‘Stone & Chalk Cyber’ umbrella.

This marks the final step in its successful merger with Stone & Chalk, which began in 2021.

For the past seven years, AustCyber has been a powerhouse in Australia's cyber security industry, supporting startups and scaleups, delivering the Sector Competitiveness Plan, and driving innovation and change within the sector.

While AustCyber's role as a growth centre is changing, the story continues. Stone & Chalk is committed to building a sustainable, tech-driven Australian economy.

We will continue to support the cyber security community with a range of opportunities for those interested in and pursuing this important field.
