• Foster and strengthen research at Monash in all areas of astronomy and astrophysics, but with special emphasis on the study of stars, planets and related systems
• Provide a stimulating environment for attracting high-quality graduate students
• Maintain and strengthen its role in the Australian astronomical community
• Foster closer connections with other areas of astronomy and astrophysics, particularly observational astronomy.
