Abstract
The Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF) comprises the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), Parkes Telescope, Mopra Telescope, and will include the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) that is currently under construction in Western Australia. Upgrades to the ATCA and the Parkes Telescope will continue to provide unique capabilities even as ASKAP comes on line. Observing time is allocated based on scientific merit. Proposers may be from any country.
