Welcome

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. AELERT members have also worked together to develop tailored training packages for environmental regulatory practitioners and better practice in environmental regulation.

Full Membership of AELERT is open to any Government agency in Australasia with environmental regulatory responsibilities. Affiliate membership of AELERT is available for academic institutions, government regulators that do not directly have regulatory responsibilities in environmental, heritage, planning or public health areas and other organisations which align with the AELERT Charter.

To find out more about AELERT initiatives and how your environmental regulatory agency can become a member, please visit the Strategic Plan & Charter, 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.

AELERT on LinkedIn 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.
