Improving Australia’s environment data, information and reporting to inform decision making.
Environment Information Australia supports decisions about our environment to benefit:
- nature
- business
- the Australian community.
We collect and share important data and information about Australia’s environment. We also report on the environment and manage programs to help protect it.
Environment Information Australia is creating more resources to help people make better decisions about the environment. We work with governments, First Nations knowledge holders, scientists, and the community to help achieve our objectives. Our data and tools are available to the public through our online portal.
