Geoscience Australia is a prescribed agency within the Resources, Energy and Tourism portfolio, and our Minister is The Hon Martin Ferguson AM MP. Geoscience Australia is a world leader in providing first class geoscientific information and knowledge which enables government and community to make informed decisions about:

• the exploitation of resources
• the management of the environment
• the safety of critical infrastructure and
• the resultant wellbeing of all Australians.

We look at key issues such as the global attractiveness of Australia's offshore and onshore exploration, improved resource management and environmental protection. We play a key role in developing a sustainable energy supply for Australia's future.
