Science

In the department, scientific knowledge underpins our policies and informs our service delivery, ultimately providing better environmental outcomes.

To build on the large amount of scientific knowledge we hold, we are working towards an innovative information capacity. We do this through research, analysis, monitoring and coordination of information, science and technological business activities.

Our knowledge and information teams work across the department programs and in collaboration with partner organisations and the community. We also administer legislation that promotes science.
