The Australian Government Environmental Information Advisory Group (the Advisory Group) will determine high-level, whole-of-government priorities that require environmental information. It will guide the development of national environmental information products and services.
The Advisory Group has produced The Statement of Australian Government Requirements for Environmental Information. This is a critical first step towards presenting a framework for whole-of-government collaboration on environmental information. It reflects the policy, research and operation perspectives of the Australian Government.
The Australian Government portfolios and agencies represented on the Advisory Group use or produce environmental information in activities including policy development, research, monitoring, analysis, modelling and reporting.

- Attorney-General's Department
