CSIRO's origins date from the early years of World War I. In 1916, the Australian Government established the Advisory Council of Science and Industry as the first step towards a ‘national laboratory’.
The aim of the CSIR was to carry out scientific research to assist primary and secondary industries in Australia — farming, mining and manufacture.
