The Environmental Policy Integration Branch (EPIB) currently works directly to the four Deputy Secretaries responsible for the environment, water and protected area groups within the portfolio, environment and heritage, environmental and First Nations heritage protection reforms, biodiversity markets, economics, environmental science, and water, and Parks Australia and the Antarctic.

  • create an overarching architecture to provide clarity and transparency of the major reforms to ensure integrated delivery of the entire program of priority work,
  • identify risks to delivery, and establish shared approaches and solutions to manage risks, and
  • establish governance and reporting to track delivery to support our collective success.

  • Identifying and tracking performance of the priority key projects (including individual project tasks, milestones and success measures) that will collectively deliver on the Minister for the Environment and Water's Nature Positive agenda.
