Scientific paper

The transition from construction to operation for the Australia Telescope involved appointing a Director, formally incorporating the Parkes telescope, and transforming the Australia Telescope Support Group from a group within the Division of Radiophysics to an independent unit within CSIRO - the Australia Telescope National Facility. Operation as a National Facility began in April 1990. To provide effective operation, several committees were established: an AT Advisory Committee, an AT Time Assignment Committee, an AT Users Committee, and several user-support groups. Of the six antennas which comprise the Compact Array at Narrabri only five were outfitted for the first formal observations, at frequencies of 5.0 and 8.6 GHz, and only three of these were outfitted with 1.5- and 2.3-GHz systems, with limited spectral-line capability. Since then, outfitting at these frequencies has been completed, and services appropriate to a national facility have been set up at the sites to support visiting astronomers.
