Our commitment to cyber
From 1 July 2024, AustCyber has transitioned from being a government-funded Industry Growth Centre to being 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.
We will continue to support the cyber security community with a range of opportunities for those interested in and pursuing this important field.
