About the host

ANU National Security College

Securing our Future: a ready and resilient Australia is hosted by the ANU National Security College (NSC).

NSC is a joint initiative of the Australian Government and ANU. Having recently completed 15 years, NSC is a trusted provider of education and research.

We also serve as a unique meeting place for government, parliamentarians, academia, industry and the community to explore how Australia can best meet its security challenges.

We bridge disciplines, professions and viewpoints and are strictly apolitical. NSC’s Charter mandates it to work independently in Australia’s national interest to deepen awareness and debate on national security.
