Australia's national science agency is set to release the findings of an independent investigation into claims of bullying within the organisation.

The CSIRO appointed former Commonwealth ombudsman Dennis Pearce to investigate allegations from current and former staff of workplace bullying and other unreasonable behaviour in their organisation.

CSIRO chief executive Megan Clark will release the report by emeritus Professor Pearce on Wednesday along with CSIRO's response to the findings.

Earlier this year, CSIRO deputy chief Mike Whelan said 11 allegations of bullying and harassment had been made over the prior three years at the agency, with one being substantiated.
