The quest to identify dark matter requires new and innovative approaches, combining techniques and data from a range of instruments. In the Southern Hemisphere, we have a unique perspective on astrophysical dark matter signals due to our access to new cutting-edge radio and our ability to directly monitor the Galactic Centre. We also have a crucial advantage in the search for dark matter via direct detection, which will allow us to independently test, for the first time, the most persistent and enigmatic signal in the worldwide dark matter detection effort. I will discuss the set up of a new underground laboratory, which will host a new dark matter direct detection experiment, which will be taking place in Australia in the next five years. This experiment will be able to measure or exclude the Dama modulation signal. I will also discuss the possibility of dark matter detection using the 21 cm radio signal, that will be recorded by low frequency radio telescope.
