25 years powered by pawsey
Every question can be answered in time — but we have no time to waste.
Whether it is the rapidly changing climate, declining food security, the race to cleaner energy or the threat of another pandemic, we cannot meet the challenges of the moment with the tools of the past.
For 25 years, Pawsey — and our predecessor iVEC — have brought together the expert staff, sector knowledge and strategic focus needed to enable science and accelerate discovery.
Join us to learn more about our journey.

ANNUAL REVIEW 2025
2000 - 2009
The work of many
In the first decade as iVEC, our centre laid the foundations for supercomputing in Western Australia through a unique collaboration of universities, CSIRO and government.
2010 - 2014
BuIldIng for the future
Backed by major national investment, iVEC transitioned into the Pawsey Centre, constructing a purpose-built facility and commissioning petascale systems to drive Australia’s scientific future.
2015 - 2019
Local Presence, NatIonal Influence
With world-class systems, Pawsey expanded its reach — powering major discoveries, supporting hundreds of projects across Australia, and contributing to national policy on high-performance computing.
2020 - 2024
InternatIonal Reach, Real-World Impact
With the launch of Setonix and integration of quantum and AI technologies, Pawsey is working on a global stage — supporting international mega-science projects like the Square Kilometre Array while accelerating real-world research in health, climate, and industry.
2025 onwards
LookIng beyond the horIzon
As we look ahead, Pawsey is evolving into a hybrid computing environment where quantum, AI, and cloud-native science converge — preparing for entirely new ways of exploring, modelling, and understanding our world.

The Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre is supported by the Australian Government through a $70 million grant made under the Industry Research and Development Act and administered by the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science. Pawsey is also supported by the Australian Government under the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) through the Department of Education. The Centre would also like to acknowledge the support provided by the Western Australian Government and its Partner organisations.
We are grateful for the support of our core partners.
