Southern NSW and the ACT are shaping a connected, competitive and resilient future.

At THRIVE 2026: Powering Regional Prosperity, Regional Development Australia Southern NSW & ACT launched the Regional Vision – Thrive, a roadmap focused on housing, workforce, infrastructure, climate resilience and long-term regional prosperity.

We have been honoured to be a part of the extremely successful SISP program and that we were selected as a pilot region. The program has significant momentum and has expanded to over 30 schools in 2020. In what has been a challenging year, the program has assisted schools and students to integrate STEM into the classroom and engage with industry.
