The Centre comprises about 43 staff and 39 students engaged in diverse areas of astrophysical research. It is actively involved in the planned Square Kilometre Array project. Computing resources include a 1950-node supercomputer. The Centre is the only Australian institution to have an agreement with the W. M.
