Major Sponsors

The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry works to enhance Australia’s agricultural, fisheries and forestry industries.

Our vision is a more sustainable and prosperous Australia through biosecurity, agricultural production and trade. We support industry to grow towards a $100 billion agriculture, fisheries and forestry industry by 2030 amid changing global market conditions.

We work with state and territory governments and industry to create and support productive, profitable, sustainable and internationally competitive Australian forest and forest products industries. This includes delivering a suite of initiatives totalling over $300 million to support Australia’s forest industries to innovate and improve the capacity and capability of the sector.

Additionally, through the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES), we produce Australia’s State of the Forest Report and provide key industry research and data.

ForestWorks partners with government, industry, unions, workers, and training providers to develop a highly skilled workforce for these sectors. Focus areas include developing new workers, upskilling existing workers and supporting workers through their careers.

Our services include gathering industry intelligence, providing skills development solutions, developing nationally accredited VET training packages, and managing government-funded training programs. We are a collaborative partner and professional service provider to Skills Insight JSC.
