Who we are
The Environmental Permitting and Compliance Division is looking for people who are committed and passionate about protecting our environment through ensuring compliance and enforcement with Australia's national environmental laws. It is an exciting time to join the Division within the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. The government has announced that it will establish a national environment protection agency, Environment Protection Australia (EPA) to provide assurance and trust in the enforcement of national environmental laws. It is expected that the work of the division will transition to the independent EPA in the period ahead.
Compliance and Enforcement Branch provides a centralised compliance and enforcement capability for the Department's environmental legislation. We work with business, industry, government and the community to understand and improve compliance with national environmental law. The branch conducts civil and criminal investigations, collects and analyses environmental intelligence, monitors compliance with environmental approvals, and engages with the community we regulate.
The Environment Intelligence Section comprises three specialised teams: the Operations Support team, the Threat Discovery team and the Strategic Intelligence team. The Operations Support and Threat Discovery teams proactively undertake intelligence activities to discover, understand and respond to current and emerging matters of organised environmental crime and serious non-compliance, including the ability to connect the department to intelligence through collaboration and information sharing. The Strategic Intelligence team provides insightful and robust analysis of current and emerging themes, trends and issues to provide insights and influence decision making.
