ACF is Australia’s leading national not-for profit environment organisation and is funded almost entirely by individual membership and donations.

Since 1966, we have focussed on the most important and urgent environmental problems, seeking change with lasting political, economic and social support. ACF has played a key role in increasing protection for some of Australia’s most outstanding natural assets including the Franklin River, Kakadu, the Daintree Rainforest and Great Barrier Reef.

Taking action to help our environment is important for all Australians including young people. Online, you can discover your environmental impact using our Eco-calculator and then enter the GreenHome Challenge, and take action for a better world in your home.

From helping save the Murray River to calling for an end to the logging of old-growth forests, you can also take action on current environmental issues by checking the ACF website regularly, doing email actions and receiving ACF newsletters.
