In early 2003, four Australian institutes formed the Australian Virtual Observatory (Aus-VO), supported financially by an Australian Research Council grant. The purpose of the project is to develop an Australian capability and presence in the International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA). Further funding for 2004 has been requested, bringing together a total of ten universities and organisations from all over Australia. This workshop aims to bring together the existing and future Aus-VO members, international representatives of worldwide virtual observatory (VO) projects, and national expertise in the enabling technologies, to discuss progress so far, planned and future projects, and participation in the international VO arena.
