The Sustainability & Environment Program is committed to helping secure Australia’s cultural and environmental integrity.
The environment that we are responsible for is not confined to national parks and protected areas; it is also on farms, in the strips of land attached to bus stops and fast-food shops, in our backyards, roofs, and even in the cities’ roundabouts. The Sustainability and Environment Committee acknowledges that nature can coexist with humans, but that this cohabitation requires management and attention. The objective of the Sustainability & Environment portfolio is to secure Australian cultural and environmental integrity.
Large Grants Program
The focus area for FY19-23 is to support organisations that seek to influence key stakeholders to take action on climate change.
Capacity Building Stream
As we enter a new strategic period the Capacity Building Stream of the Sustainability and Environment Program has been discontinued. We will seek to support the development of the not-for-profit sector through a new initiative currently being developed.
