Your Landcare group is important to your community and to your local environment. It is also important in the bigger picture. This is the national story of the Landcare movement; of communities working together across Australia to improve the environment.

The role of Landcare Australia is to promote Landcare and seek corporate involvement and support. Registering your group's details on the National Landcare Directory and telling your story contributes to this big picture. It enables us to include your group in our work of connecting volunteer projects with potential corporate support and sponsorship. By putting your group on the map, we can assist with connecting you with volunteers new to your area and to other groups with similar interests, projects and goals.

Registering on the NLD is also the first step to applying for grants managed by Landcare Australia. Once registered you become a member of the NLD and can then login at any time to submit grant reports, promote an event and publish stories about your group's projects and achievements.

Who can register?

Through the NLD we are building up a picture of the full range of community 'care' groups across Australia, as well as the advocacy and support networks they have formed. You can register a group, network, local, regional or state Landcare body.

What information is required?

To effectively connect your group, we need to know a little about your group, its goals and the area within which it works. We need contact details for a primary contact. We can also link to your website as well as promoting your events on our website.

Registration is a 3 Step process which should take you about 10 minutes to complete. You do need to finish and submit the initial registration form in one session. Once you have registered you can login at any time to make changes to your group's profile.

What about privacy?

You get to choose whether or not your group's primary contact information is made public. When you register you can choose one of three levels of visibility. Your group's primary contact information can be made freely available; made available only to Landcare support organisations (such as State-level Landcare bodies) or not available at all.

Our own LANDCAREONLINE PRIVACY NOTICE provides details about the protections we guarantee for how we will and will not use information you provide to us.

How do we promote our events and projects?

Once you have registered on the NLD you become a member of the Landcare portal. You can login at any time and make further contributions to the National Landcare story:

• You can update your PROFILE with information about your group and its projects
• You can promote your EVENT on our National events calendar.
• You can publish a STORY about your group and its achievements

If you have problems registering please contact us at NLDHelp@landcareaustralia.com.au

Please choose your group’s log-in details. Pick something meaningful for your group so if you happen to move on, someone else will easily remember these details. Try to choose a different password to your usual logins as you may have to share this password with other members of your group.

This is your group’s address. It is used to display your group on the Search Results map so even if your group does not have a set street address, try to enter a meaningful location such as where you hold your regular meetings.
