Working on Country
In recognising that protecting the environment is a shared responsibility and seeing an opportunity to link endeavours to protect and conserve the environment with efforts to increase Indigenous employment, the Australian Government established Working on Country.
Across Australia, in regional and remote communities, the Indigenous rangers workforce is expected to grow to around 600 rangers by the end of 2010. The popularity of this growing industry lies in the nature of the rangers' work, which is close to the hearts of many Indigenous people.
