Vision and Objectives

Our Vision is to have thriving desert knowledge economies sustaining Australia’s inland environments. 

The Desert Knowledge CRC will help to create economic opportunities for desert people, and make a demonstrable difference for remote Aboriginal communities, through the application of excellent research and training.

We will contribute to developing the following broad outcomes in the national interest:

  • Sustainable livelihoods for desert people based on new natural resource and service enterprise opportunities that are environmentally and socially appropriate.

  • Remote desert communities that are more sustainable to support the presence of desert people, as a result of facilitating access to more attractive services that are delivered more efficiently.

  • Thriving desert economies that are based on unique desert knowledge and which are more self-sufficient.

  • Increased social capital of desert people, their communities and service agencies.
