Applying for funding for the National Reserve System

The Australian Government invests in the National Reserve System through its Caring for our Country initiative.

Under Caring for our Country, the National Reserve System Program provides up to two-thirds of the purchase price for a property and a partner organisation contributes the rest. The partner then owns the property and manages it for conservation.
