About

The EIA Portal brings together important information about Australia's environment. It gives users access to data, information, and tools that help make decisions about the environment.

The resources in the portal are designed to meet different needs. Some are for specific tasks, while others can be used for multiple purposes. To learn more about each resource and how to use it, click on the specific resource.

The portal is being continuously improved based on feedback from users. Future updates will include new resources and improvements to help the tools, data, and information work better together for a more personalised experience.
