Federal Budget Analysis

2026 Federal Budget Analysis

Webinar | 11:00am - 12:30pm AEST

May 13, 2026

Our annual federal budget analysis unpacks what's in it for nature?

Each year, our Nature Budget Brunch analyses the federal budget, including key announcements, and investments and policy signals - to help you understand where funding is (or in this year's case, very much not), flowing, and what it means for nature and the people working to protect it.

Introductory remarks were provided by ALCA CEO Jody Gunn, and analysis by Policy Lead Michael Cornish. Discussion includes the trends in the environment budget over time, nature spending beyond the environment portfolio, the Saving Native Species program funding shortfall, and the massive nature spend gap more broadly.
