The Australasian Environmental Law Enforcement and Regulators neTwork (AELERT) is a network of environmental regulatory agencies. Its aim is to build relationships between jurisdictions to facilitate the sharing of information and improve the regulatory compliance capacity of member agencies. It also seeks to develop national standards for training and best practice in environmental regulation.
Full Membership of AELERT is open to any Government agency in Australasia with environmental regulatory responsibilities. As an AELERT member, agencies can access nationally accredited training packages (Certificate IV in Statutory Compliance, Certificate IV in Investigations or Diploma in Government (Investigations)) that have been customised to enhance their practical application to the environmental regulator.
To find out more about AELERT initiatives and how your environmental regulatory agency can become a member, please visit the Charter, Strategic Plan, Background and Governance pages. The Links page on this website will be progressively enhanced to provide members with a greater range of resources from national and international regulatory agencies.
