Senator The Hon. Kim Carr, Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, has released the Report of a Review of Questacon (July 2008), Australia's National Science and Technology Centre.
Questacon opened in 1988 as a joint Australia-Japan Bicentennial Project with the Governments and business communities of Australia and Japan co-funding the cost of Questacon’s building which provides the headquarters for Questacon’s extensive national and international operations. This year, Questacon marks its 20th year as a national institution.
The review was conducted by a panel headed by Mr John Simpson, Group General Manager, Corporate Affairs, National Australia Bank, to examine Questacon's role, priorities and resources, its governance and options for sustainable future funding within a national and international context.
