Vision & Strategic Focus
Safeguarding Australia’s flora through a national network of germplasm collections
Our Vision
Our vision is for a future where Australia’s native plant diversity is valued, understood and conserved for the benefit of all.
Our Strategic Focus
Our strategic focus is to deliver a national effort that contributes to the conservation of Australia’s native plant diversity through collaborative and sustainable seed and germplasm collecting, banking and use, research, and knowledge sharing.
The Partnership will deliver this through four key outcome areas:

- Outcome 2 – Growing our investments in our facilities and people.
- Outcome 3 – Improving engagement and partnerships with Australia’s First Nations Peoples
- Outcome 4 – Developing and sharing knowledge
