A new national service that aims to support better planning and preparedness for climate and natural hazards, and better response and recovery to disasters has launched.

Established by the Australian Government in 2021, the Australian Climate Service’s work is guided by recommendations in the Royal Commission on National Natural Disaster Arrangements. The service is a partnership, made up of world leading science, information and expertise from the Bureau of Meteorology, Geoscience Australia, CSIRO and Australian Bureau of Statistics.

The ACS will connect and leverage the Commonwealth’s extensive climate and natural hazard information into a single national view. It will work with customers to provide data and intelligence to support each phase of the national disaster continuum; Prevention, Preparedness, Response, Recovery, Relief and Resilience.
