Since 2007 the competition has gone global in over 35 countries\, with more than 40\,000 young scientists participating to date. FameLab is recognised as being a powerful tool in identifying and nurturing new voices of science\, with previous alumni developing careers in science communication. \nThe Foundation for the Western Australian Museum is the producer of FameLab Australia. The focus of FameLab Australia is to promote excellence in science communication for early career STEM researchers in universities and industry. The competition is open to early career STEM researchers currently completing postgraduate studies or who are within five years of completing their postgraduate degrees. \nFameLab Australia has a focus on STEM in recognition of the role of research to drive innovation and economic prosperity for contemporary economies. FameLab equips early career researchers with skills that are directly relevant to their career and improve their public speaking\, media skills\, pitching and presentation skills. FameLab develops them into science advocates who can confidently communicate with industry\, grant bodies\, government and employers\, as well as engage young Australians to take up STEM subjects and careers. \nParticipants undergo an in-depth science communication training program\, and learn to communicate their science research in just three minutes. Contestants are judged according to the 3 Cs of FameLab: Content\, Clarity\, and Charisma. \nIn 2023\, 76 applicants from across Australia received science communication training\, with 48 scientists shortlisted to compete in 4 regional\, online Semi-finals and receiving further training. \nOut of the 48 semi-finalists\, 12 finalists were selected\, who received further masterclass training and then travelled to Perth for an immersive\, intensive multi-day science communication workshop and the live Final at WA Museum Boola Bardip. \nOlivia Carroll\, an immunologist and microbiologist representing the University of Newcastle and Hunter Medical Research Institute\, was named the 2023 Australian FameLab winner and competed in the online FameLab International Final in November 2023.
