Welcome to the Commissioner for the Environment.
The Commissioner is an independent statutory position established in 1993 as one of the first independent Commissioners for the Environment in the world and the first in Australia.
Our vision, Living Sustainability, captures our commitment to assist the community and government to undertake actions in advancing sustainability and environmental security through advocacy, independent scrutiny, reporting and advice.
