Fauna Spotter Catchers across New South Wales.

Licensing in New South Wales

In New South Wales the work is covered by a Biodiversity conservation licence (scientific licence, ecological survey or consultancy class), issued by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 and obtained for each project. Our management plans and crew credentials are ready to go, and our applications are pre-filled, so we can lodge as soon as your project is confirmed for the fastest possible path to approval.

Harm to threatened species needs a threatened species licence, and fauna survey work usually also needs an Animal Research Authority.
