CSIRO chief executive Doug Hilton has ruled out cuts to “research capacity” at the national science agency this financial year as a major restructure of it’s enterprise division continues.

Data61 had been bracing for heavy job losses following redundancies in CSIRO’s health and biosecurity, manufacturing and agriculture and food units numbering almost 80 last financial year.
