Geoscience Australia

Geoscience Australia is a prescribed agency within the Resources, Energy and Tourism portfolio, and our Minister is The Hon Martin Ferguson AM MP.

Geoscience Australia is a world leader in providing first class geoscientific information and knowledge which enables government and community to make informed decisions about:

* the exploitation of resources
* the management of the environment
* the safety of critical infrastructure and
* the resultant wellbeing of all Australians.

We look at key issues such as the global attractiveness of Australia's offshore and onshore exploration, improved resource management and environmental protection. We play a key role in developing a sustainable energy supply for Australia's future.

The outcome of our work is an enhanced potential for the Australian community to obtain economic, social and environmental benefits through the application of first class research and information.
