In addition of its deep commitment to the Australian National facilities like Siding Springs Observatory, ANU is part of the Giant Magellan Telescope, and since recently, part of ESO as a strategic partner. Within the ANU, the Advanced Instrumentation Technology Centre core mission is to build instruments for astronomy. It is, together with the AAO, one of two optical/infrared instrumentation pole in Australia. Our focus is Near-Infrared imagers and Integral Field Spectrographs, and since 2012, Adaptive Optics. I will give an overview of our AO activities, covering applications and developments for GMT, Subaru GLAO, Gemini GeMS’s NGS2, as well as activities pertinent to the newly signed ANU-PSL collaboration (e.g. relative to Green Flash).
