Our vision

By 2035, Australia is a globally competitive producer of batteries and battery materials, providing secure and resilient battery supply chains, delivering affordable and secure energy for Australians, boosting productivity and creating wealth and opportunity while being part of the global energy transition.

Strategic battery priorities

We’ll create a fully charged Australian battery industry by focusing on 5 key priorities:

1. Build battery manufacturing capabilities in ways that strengthen economic resilience, leverage Australia’s comparative advantages and add value to our economy.
2. Build knowledge and skills to create secure Australian-made jobs.
3. Secure Australia’s place in global battery supply chains.
4. Lead the world on sustainability, standards and the circular economy.
5. Bring all levels of government together.

New battery actions: Budget 2024–25

• Battery Breakthrough: $523.2 million – will incentivise the production of high-value battery products in Australia’s areas of advantage – such as stationary energy storage – to strengthen economic resilience and support critical battery manufacturing capabilities.
• Building Future Battery Capabilities: $20.3 million – build our future battery capabilities and strengthen national collaboration, including:
• $9.9 million to the Future Battery Industries Cooperative Research Centre (FBICRC) to map Australian battery capability and value chains, drive battery innovation and scale-up and deliver best practice guidelines and standards for the battery industry.
• $10 million to the Powering Australia Industry Growth Centre (PAIGC) to develop workforce skills and training to enable a safe and sustainable battery industry.
• Support to deliver the Australian Made Battery Precinct: $5.6 million – has been committed to conduct foundational work to support the establishment of the Australian Made Battery Precinct, in partnership with the Queensland Government. This will help realise the Australian Government’s commitment to invest up to $100 million in the precinct.
• Future Made in Australia Innovation Fund: $1.7 billion – will accelerate the deployment of innovation in priority industries, which includes clean energy technologies such as batteries manufacturing.
