About us

Established in September 2021, by a group of invertebrate biologists, Invertebrates Australia is a registered charity and Australian not-for-profit. A first of its kind in Australia, this environmental charity has a sole focus on science-based activities to manage and conserve Australian invertebrates.

The establishment of our organisation was driven by our collective awareness of the urgent need to tackle the challenges facing invertebrate management and conservation in Australia. We facilitate, conduct and promote invertebrate-focused conservation activities. Our founders come from universities, museums, and zoos around Australia.
