The Australian Government provides funding to two national landcare organisations through the Natural Heritage Trust (NHT). The investment is jointly funded by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, and managed by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.
The Australian Government allocated $14.5 million, excluding GST, to support national landcare organisations under this investment stream. This included approximately $0.88 million to support the transition between phases of the NHT. The funding amounts below relate to the current grant agreements and exclude GST.
