We present a description and plan for the Mount Stromlo Optical Communication Ground Station (OCGS), which will be a facility for free space optical communication at Mount Stromlo Observatory, Australia. To be commissioned in 2022, the OCGS will allow Australia to engage with the existing global network of ground stations and satellites. The OCGS will be a two level structure with a 0.7m telescope, equipped with adaptive optics and capacity for numerous instruments such as a lunar communication receiver for the Artemis program and quantum communication detection.
