The Australian Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water is calling for stakeholders to have their say on the implementation plan for Australia’s Strategy for Nature.

Consultation is open until 15 October 2025. The plan will guide how governments, communities, businesses and individuals can work together to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030.

Stakeholders preparing submissions could highlight the vital role of VET in developing a workforce that is safe, effective, and productive through skills development. Skills Insight will not be making a direct submission, unless there is strong stakeholder interest.
