The Council of Australasian Weed Societies is an independent body that can express National and regional views on all issues relating to weeds and their management. The Council is composed of delegates from Australian State Societies and the Plant Protection Society of New Zealand that have weeds as their major focus.

Cooperative Research Centres were established in 1990 to bring together researchers and research users from universities, the public sector and business. They undertake long-term, collaborative research and develop ventures of substantial quality and size that contribute to national objectives. The Australian Commonwealth Government funds the CRC Programme of which there are 57 centres involved in agriculture, the environment, medical science, mining, manufacturing, information and communications.

Weeds pose a significant threat to Tasmania's natural environment and to our agricultural industries. This section provides comprehensive information on weeds, their identification and best methods of control.

At Habitat Plants we are passionate about growing indigenous Tasmanian plants. Like our customers we love to be amongst them and we love the idea that as we grow and care for the plants we are enhancing our own habitat: a habitat we share with mammals, birds, reptiles and invertebrates.

The International weed Science Society organises and hosts the International Weed Control Congresses every four years. It is a peak professional body with global membership of weed managers.

NSW North Coast Weeds Advisory Committee

The North Coast Weeds Advisory Committee is the leading organisation for weeds in the NSW north coast region, comprising all key stakeholders involved in weed management from Nambucca Shire to the Queensland border.

Gwydir Shire Council, through a service agreement with Inverell Shire Council, is the local (government) noxious weed control authority for the area of northern New South Wales, Australia, covered by the Shires of GWYDIR and INVERELL.

The Weed Society of New South Wales was formed in 1966, the first weed society in Australia. It is affiliated with similar societies in Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, Northern Territory and Western Australia under the umbrella organisation CAWS (the Council of Australian Weed Societies).

This site provides information on how to start a Landcare Group (or a community weed management group) and the grant schemes available to groups for on-ground NRM work. It also provides an indication of the existing network of 'care' type groups around Tasmania for people interested in being involved in community based weed management activities.

The Society is an organisation that brings together research scientists, extension officers, consultants, company representatives, conservationists, other practitioners and members of the public who have an interest in weed management.

The Weed Management Society of South Australia Inc. (WMSSA) was formed on 15th October 1999, bringing together people actively involved in managing weeds and researchers with interests in protecting our agricultural and natural environments.

Good weed identification information

Weedbusters Australia works with the community to achieve sustainable land and water management, primarily through increased public involvement in weed management, education and awareness projects.

Weed and pest animal management

Weeds and pest animals have significant economic, environmental and social effects on Queenslanders. The department works closely with local governments and other key stakeholders to minimise these effects.

Weeds cost Queensland an estimated $600 million every year and affect our primary industries, natural ecosystems, and human and animal health.

This site has been created by the Australian Weeds Committee to promote access to key weed policies, regulations, current issues, national initiatives, research, extension, training and personnel. It is our hope that anyone involved in weed management will find this site useful and provide feedback and comment, so that it can be continually improved.
