Physics endeavours to understand the underlying laws governing our universe, so that we can better interact with, and harness our environment. Such an understanding has allowed us to develop important concepts such as television, electricity, the World Wide Web, radio, satellites, radar, magnetic resonance imaging, X-rays, lasers, transistors and many others. However, physics remains a fast moving discipline with new areas in physics continually emerging. It is essential that as a nation we understand the role of physics to our economy, where our strengths in research are, what opportunities lie ahead and how we can best capitalise on our investments to keep Australian physics internationally competitive.

物理学致力于理解支配我们宇宙的基本定律，以便我们能够更好地与环境互动并利用环境。这种理解使我们能够发展重要的概念，如电视，电力，万维网，无线电，卫星，雷达，磁共振成像，X射线，激光，晶体管和许多其他概念。然而，物理学仍然是一门快速发展的学科，物理学的新领域不断涌现。至关重要的是，作为一个国家，我们了解物理学对我们经济的作用，我们在研究方面的优势在哪里，未来有什么机会，以及我们如何最好地利用我们的投资，以保持澳大利亚物理学的国际竞争力。
