Healthy Land & Water is South East Queensland’s leading environmental organisation. We are an independent not-for-profit committed to restoring our region’s diverse ecosystems and landscapes, and protecting biodiversity in ways that benefit communities, economies, and nature.

With projects spanning disaster preparedness, environmental restoration, biodiversity conservation, sustainable agriculture, water quality and security, and more, we transform environmental research into practical solutions that protect natural assets, improve water quality, restore ecosystems, and build climate resilience.

Your strategic partner in turning environmental commitments into measurable outcomes, backed by science and proven results.

Healthy Land & Water was established in 2016 when two of the region's most experienced natural resource management groups, Healthy Waterways and SEQ Catchments, merged to form a unified force for environmental action. Both organisations had been delivering results for over 15 years.

That merger brought together more than two decades of scientific expertise, on-ground experience, and deep community connections to create South East Queensland's pre-eminent natural resource management organisation. Today, we remain as dedicated as ever to solving complex environmental problems through on-ground action, research, and partnerships.

Our multidisciplinary team brings together environmental scientists, engineers, ecologists, restoration specialists, Indigenous engagement practitioners, and strategic communication experts, all working collaboratively to deliver meaningful impact.

We're deeply embedded in the South East Queensland region, working shoulder-to-shoulder with land managers, communities, Traditional Owners, industry, and government on long-term initiatives that shape the future of our landscapes and waterways.

Whether we're restoring degraded ecosystems or protecting threatened species, we bring rigorous science together with local knowledge and on-ground experience. Along the way, we share knowledge, learn from those we partner with, and adapt to new challenges. This collaborative approach has built the strong, trusted relationships that underpin our success, and the lasting environmental legacy we're creating across the region.

Our work is guided by more than scientific rigour and environmental expertise; it's shaped by the values we live every day. At Healthy Land & Water, our culture drives our impact. By being innovative, acting with integrity, caring deeply, collaborating authentically, and showing courage in the face of complex challenges, we deliver better outcomes faster, for our region's ecosystems, communities, and future.

These aren't just words on a page. They're the foundation of how we work together, how we partner with stakeholders, and how we approach every project, every relationship, and every challenge we take on.

We're on a mission to drive environmental investment, deliver transformative change, and build lasting connections across South East Queensland. Our strategic priorities guide everything we do, from protecting natural assets to pioneering innovative programs that create real, measurable impact.

Real environmental change happens through collaboration. We partner with Traditional Owners, local and state governments, industry leaders, landholders, community groups, and research institutions across South East Queensland. These partnerships amplify our impact, combining diverse expertise and resources to deliver outcomes that benefit the entire region.
