Never has caring for our country been of greater concern to our public. The future of our country, and in turn our planet, depends upon the actions we take now to preserve our natural heritage, strengthen the resilience of our agricultural industries, push the boundaries of our scientific research and protect our boarders from pests and diseases. The future of our environment, our water resources, our strategic influence in Antarctica – they all sit here, at DAWE.
It’s our purpose to care for our country and ensure we create a brighter future for communities across our nation.
What's in a single drop of water?
Growth, potential, productivity, life.
A thousand unique things happen just-so, for a single drop of water.
Or a single page in a long history.
There's much to learn, to protect, to analyse, to improve and develop.
We are working together, on the front line, and behind the scenes.
Managing risks to agriculture, the environment and our way of life.
Across the sea, advancing our strategic, scientific and environmental interests.
From the cold of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, to the searing heat.
Working with industry to increase our capabilities and productivity, growing food export industries, advancing Australia's agriculture sector and supporting the sustainable management of our water, the stewardship of our natural environment and unique heritage.
Together we work for the wellbeing of all Australians, now and into the future.
Agriculture, Water and the Environment. We're stronger together.
Partnering and regulating to enhance Australia's agriculture, unique environment and heritage, and water resources.
We are the Australian Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment.
