The Australian Institute of Physics in conjunction with the Australian Academy of Science help the National Committees for Science develop a 10-year strategic plan for physics which aims to assess the current state of knowledge in a specific science discipline, identify and set priorities for the most important scientific questions for the next decade, and outline strategies to achieve these priorities and goals.

The current decadal plan for Physics can be found here.
