Learn about who we are, how we work, our history and future opportunities.

Collaboration and learning relies on seamless and secure access. Our role is to make that happen.

We connect organisations and individuals through a trusted national federation, without the need for a separate account or password for every service.

Since 2009, the AAF has helped connect Australia’s research and higher education sector through trust, collaboration and shared purpose.



In the digital world, simple access and security must go hand in hand.
AAF strengthens cybersecurity by providing trusted approaches to identity and access management that reduce risk while maintaining a seamless user experience.
We help organisations protect their people, systems and data while enabling the collaboration that modern education and research depend upon.

The 2021 National Research Infrastructure Roadmap calls for a more integrated, connected national research infrastructure ecosystem.
