The Australasian Environmental Law Enforcement and Regulators neTwork (AELERT) is a network of environmental regulatory agencies.
AELERT connects environmental regulators to share and solve common issues.
AELERT provides a number of opportunities for member agency staff to cooperate and interact with their counterparts across Australasia and develop strong networks to support and inform approaches towards best practice environmental regulation.
AELERT projects are organised within thematic Cluster groups through which officers can share and solve common issues. Jurisdictional networks within AELERT also offer avenues to connect with peers.
AELERT membership provides access to a resource library, events, forums, workshops and trainings with a focus on environmental regulation, compliance and enforcement.
The AELERT Secretariat also facilitates interactions and supports the operation of the network.
The AELERT Strategic Plan and Charter serves as our operating framework.
The AELERT LinkedIn group allows staff in member agencies to discuss issues and promote initiatives being undertaken in the environmental regulatory area. Click on the LinkedIn logo to join the AELERT LinkedIn group.
Membership of AELERT is open to any Government agency in Australasia with environmental regulatory responsibilities.
Affiliate membership of AELERT is also available for academic institutions and government regulators that do not directly have environmental regulatory responsibilities, in accordance with the AELERT Charter.
To find out more about how your environmental regulatory agency can become a member, please visit the Strategic Plan and Charter page.
The AELERT Secretariat invites members to provide feedback and suggestions at any time. We welcome your thoughts on the current website features, the resources that are available and the role of the Steering Committee in supporting the network. Please email the Secretariat directly with your comments.
