Areas of focus
Our focus.
Eight interconnected systems where Restoration Australia explores ideas, partnerships and practical solutions — from native seed and Caring for Country to climate adaptation, finance and regional capacity.
Ecological Restoration
Returning function and structure to disturbed ecosystems.
We support landscape-scale ecological restoration that re-establishes the composition, structure and function of native ecosystems — using site-specific, evidence-led methods.
Native Seed Systems
Building reliable supply of locally provenanced native seed.
From wild collection and ethical sourcing to seed banking, propagation and supply infrastructure — we strengthen the native seed economy underpinning restoration at scale.
Biodiversity Recovery
Recovery actions for threatened species and ecological communities.
We work with practitioners and Traditional Owners to design recovery interventions that protect and rebuild biodiversity across catchments and bioregions.
Landscape Rehabilitation
Rehabilitating mined, cleared and degraded lands.
Closing the gap between disturbance and recovery — including post-mining rehabilitation, agricultural transition, and rehabilitation across infrastructure footprints.
Indigenous-led Restoration
Caring for Country, led by Traditional Owners.
Backing Indigenous-led restoration enterprises, Ranger groups, and seed initiatives that centre Traditional Knowledge and self-determination on Country.
Restoration Workforce Development
Skilling the people who restore Country.
Practical training pathways and accreditation for the growing restoration workforce — from field practitioners to project leads and ecologists.
Research & Knowledge Exchange
Connecting science with practice.
Linking universities, field practitioners and Traditional Owners — translating restoration ecology and seed science into practical, evidence-led knowledge that lifts the standard of practice nationwide.
Training & Education
Knowledge for restoration practitioners.
Workshops, field schools, publications and practical guidance that lift the standard of restoration practice across the continent.
