National Facilities, Laboratories and Research Stations were also created to focus the use of resources in particular fields. Organisational units that transitioned from CSIR to CSIRO are designated as CSIR/O. This entry lists the many Divisions that existed during this period. Sections, Units and other business units are listed elsewhere.
