Improving Australia’s water and environmental management by enhancing the link between scientific evidence and effective policy-making requires adaptive leadership and communication styles that bring science to life and make it relevant for politicians and policy-makers. The Trust magnifies its impact and reach through its growing network of Fellows (graduates of our Leadership development programs) and Friends (influential leaders and thinkers in the water space). The 2021-2024 Strategic Plan identifies our strategic goals, how we might define success and what initiatives we will undertake to achieve our goals.
