Inventive
Australia has an extraordinary heritage of innovation and invention in science and technology. For a country with a relatively small population, Australia’s impact on the world – via groundbreaking research and development – is disproportionately high. Australian have contributed to the development of Wi-Fi, penicillin, the cochlearimplant, the black box flight recorder and Gardasil cervical cancer vaccine, among many others.
