Watertrust Australia Ltd Information

Watertrust Australia Ltd is a new, independent national policy centre with a mission to improve the way decisions are made about Australia’s inland waters and catchments. Established by a coalition of 16 philanthropic funders who have committed over $31 million to help secure its operations for at least 10 years, Watertrust Australia Ltd will complement and contribute to policymaking through impactful consultation, deliberation, collaboration and co-design. Watertrust Australia will be incubated at the Australian Academy of Science in Canberra for its first five years. Governance and management will remain entirely independent of the Academy.
