Australian Citizen Science Association

The Australian Citizen Science Association (ACSA) is the national peak body for citizen science in Australia. We represent and support a diverse community of researchers, coordinators, natural resource managers, educators and community participants engaged in citizen science practice. Motivated by a shared commitment to inclusive and impactful public participation in scientific inquiry, our membership spans universities, government agencies, not-for-profit organisations, individuals and community groups. ACSA works to strengthen the practice of citizen science across Australia through advocacy, training and collaboration across sectors. We engage internationally as part of the Citizen Science Global Partnership. We are a volunteer membership based organisation with Chapters in most States and Territories. We have DGR /charity status for environmental work.
