Bringing chemistry off the page and into the real world.
Chemistry doesn't stop at the classroom door- it's at work in laboratories, manufacturing plants, mining and resources operations, research institutes, universities, and technology companies right across Australia. This directory is here to help teachers and students connect with those real-world settings, giving them direct, hands-on exposure to the science, careers, and industries that chemistry makes possible.
Whether it's a full site visit, a laboratory tour, or a shorter workplace experience, industry exposure can make a lasting difference to how students see chemistry, and where it might take them. For teachers, it offers a valuable way to bring classroom learning to life and build stronger links between the curriculum and its real-world applications.
Browse the directory below to find tours and visits on offer from participating organisations, and start planning an experience that connects your students to the science happening beyond the classroom.
Are you an organisation that could host a visit?
We're always looking to grow this directory with more laboratories, chemical and process industries, resources and minerals operations, research organisations, universities, technology companies, and other science-based workplaces. If your organisation can offer a tour or visit for teachers and students, we'd love to have you involved — register here.
The broader the range of industry partners, the richer the experience we can offer teachers and students across Australia.
