The Australian Environment Directory gives a comprehensive overview of the entire environment sector at Federal and State levels. The 412 page second edition allows readers to quickly identify which departments, agencies, sections and units have particular responsibilities and roles (including greenhouse abatement, biodiversity and environment protection).

Branches and divisions alongside the support programs and funding opportunities they manage, providing unique insights into the management structure of departments and agencies. Local government environmental bodies – and non-government environmental organisations – are described in detail.

The major environmental programs in the Federal and State spheres are linked back to the relevant departments and agencies, allowing readers to clearly locate the source of the program. Identifying the funding sources available through the range of Federal and State bodies is a key feature of the Directory, which includes an index for quick cross-referencing.

The Directory also contains specific chapters reporting on environmental educational facilities at more than 30 universities, including science, engineering and environmental management. Research centers and agencies within universities and State governments are listed in the research section of the Directory, allowing readers to identify research teams and projects in fields such as water, solid waste management and alternative energy.

More than 700 organisations, research bodies and educational institutions are listed in the Directory. Contact details include mail addresses, telephone and fax numbers, emails and web sites. The Directory is updated annually
