Membership
Membership Levels
AELERT membership is offered at two levels; the agency level and the individual level.
Member Agency
Membership is open to agencies, from all levels of government in Australia and New Zealand, with responsibility for administering legislation with respect to the environment, heritage or natural resources.
Affiliate Membership may be granted to government agencies without environmental regulatory responsibilities, but for whom engagement with AELERT may be mutually beneficial, as well as academic institutions whose engagement may further the objectives of AELERT. Affiliate membership may be granted at the discretion of the AELERT National Council.
