Australia is at a crossroads on nuclear energy — and your voice can help shape the outcome. The federal Select Committee on Nuclear Energy is taking public submissions about the potential of nuclear power as part of our energy future.
This is a critical opportunity to stand up and speak out for a sustainable, nuclear-free future. Your submission matters.
The Inquiry is an ideal time for us to highlight the costs and risks of nuclear power and support the real renewable energy solutions that are already reducing carbon emissions and creating 40% of Australia’s electricity. The decisions made in this Inquiry could impact our environment, health, and communities for generations.
What to Include in Your Submission
- Express any environmental, health, or economic concerns about nuclear energy.
- Share why renewable energy solutions like solar and wind are better for Australia.
- Tell a personal story or share insights about why you support a nuclear-free Australia.
Three tools that can help with your submission

Deadlines and Next Steps
Make sure to submit your feedback by 15 November.
Every submission counts – even a short note is important. Together, we can show the Committee that Australians want a sustainable, nuclear-free future and that our energy future is renewable, not radioactive.
