At the CRCNA, we understand how important it is to sustainably develop Northern Australia through collaborative and evidenced based research. We’re a team that’s based in the north and working with Northern Australians to contribute to a future we can all be proud of. We understand the north’s unique operating environment and are ensuring our best assets - our people and land, sea and water, thrives through inclusive, sustainable and nature positive development.
CRCNA investments extend right across Northern Australia, and the Pilbara region where research into aquaculture, agriculture and health, in partnership with First Nations people, is helping to de-risk investment that’s creating more resilient and diversified economies for regional, rural and remote areas of Northern Australia.
