About the Australian Climate Service

Across the Australian Government we hold world-leading expertise, data and information that can be used to support better planning, preparedness and response to climate challenges and natural hazards.

The Australian Climate Service seeks to support a safer, adaptive and prosperous Australia, prepared for and resilient to climate challenges and natural disasters. It aims to deliver this through:

• Improving access to authoritative and trusted data, intelligence and expert advice, and
• Building and enhancing Australia's climate and natural hazard intelligence capability.

The Australian Climate Service aims to connect and leverage the Commonwealth’s extensive climate and natural hazard information into a single national view. The Australian Climate Service works with partners and information users to provide data and intelligence to support each phase of the natural disaster continuum: prevention, preparedness, response, relief, recovery, and resilience.

The Australian Climate Service is building a national capability that improves Australia’s ability to understand climate and natural hazard challenges and how they are or could impact Australia. This understanding aims to improve planning, preparedness and response. It draws on Australian Government expertise from the Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO, the Australian Bureau of Statistics and Geoscience Australia. Over the coming years it will also collaborate with state and territory governments, private sector, community, and other actors to become a truly national capability.
