Director, Australian National Botanic Gardens

Australia's natural and cultural heritage is unique. Our land and seascapes are distinctive, home to plants and animals found nowhere else in the world, and to some of the oldest living cultures on earth. These environments and cultures are an essential part of our national identity, and visitors travel from across the country and the world to experience them.

The Director of National Parks is responsible for six national parks, the Australian National Botanic Gardens, 58 Australian Marine Parks and the Heard Island and McDonald Islands Marine Reserve established under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

Parks Australia is the federal park agency, a division of the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (the Department). Parks Australia works to showcase these natural and cultural wonders to the world, demonstrating to all why these places are so special, and inspiring communities to become more invested in their care and future.

The Science and Australian National Botanic Gardens Branch leads science and conservation planning and policy for Parks Australia, and conducts research in conservation and biodiversity management through a range of programs. We engage in and coordinate diverse research partnerships and ensure First Nations knowledge and innovative solutions are core to our work, enabling us to enhance engagement and embed science into decision-making at all levels. Our work includes:

  • Strategic science planning and prioritisation and shaping research partnerships for Parks Australia
  • Leading cross-cutting research to support Parks Australia – in areas such as climate change adaptation, nature positive and knowledge weaving
  • Providing scientific support for Protected Areas policy and Park Management Plans
  • Managing the Australian National Botanic Gardens, home to our Branch and the nation's largest living collection of native plants
  • Innovation in the cross-cutting application of new technologies and data analytics to meet science and application outcomes
  • Facilitating research and science capacity building and education
  • Curating national collections of biological data and conserving and protecting plants through systematics research, seed banking and ex situ conservation

The Australian National Botanic Gardens (ANBG) is the nation's largest living collection of Australian native plants. It's a tranquil setting for walking and spending time with family and friends, and a living classroom for visitors of all ages. We directly contribute to safeguarding Australia's plant species from extinctions and are responsible for leading, building and sharing knowledge of our Australian flora. The ANBG works closely with biodiversity science programs – the Australian Biological Resources Study, the Centre for Australian National Biodiversity Research, the National Seed Bank, and Biodiversity Informatics – in partnerships for research, for management of physical and digital biological collections, and for management of fundamental national biodiversity data and information accessed nationally and internationally. The ANBG works closely with other Commonwealth parks to support plant conservation initiatives.
