BirdLife Australia is proud to be the nation’s largest bird conservation organisation. As an independent, not-for-profit organisation, our aim is to create a bright future for Australia’s birds. Local knowledge and enthusiasm make a world of difference to our success! Throughout Australia, local BirdLife branches and groups provide the perfect opportunity for communities to participate in helping us achieve vital outcomes for bird conservation.
With hundreds of members and supporters, BirdLife Northern Queensland is BirdLife Australia’s northernmost and geographically largest branch. We have a wide range of local Projects, Programs, and Activities that contribute to the conservation of our region’s birds and promote birding within our community. We organise scientific and social activities such as bird surveys, birdwatching outings, workshops and presentations with guest speakers. We cater to all levels of expertise, from beginner to professional, and emphasise fun and important conservation outcomes.
North Queensland is a hotspot for biodiversity in Australia, but many species are at risk. Threats, including climate change, habitat loss, degradation and fragmentation, and invasive plants and pest animals, are adversely impacting bird life. Unless urgent action is taken, we risk losing them forever.
Our Committee, members, and supporters have extensive conservation skills and experience. They are committed to working with our local communities, land owners and managers, and Government to deliver meaningful conservation outcomes. We have diverse activities centred on research, conservation, and community engagement, with exciting volunteer opportunities available. Explore our Projects, Programs and Activities to learn more. Together, we can make a difference. We invite you to get involved.
Everyone has different amounts of time available, skills to offer, or interests they want to explore. With BirdLife Northern Queensland, there are loads of ways to get involved. You can become a member or a supporter and attend our events, join the Committee and help take the branch from strength to strength, lead a conservation Project, give a talk to our members, volunteer and be a citizen scientist, or host an event at your favourite birding spot. We truly believe our success lies in the strength and diversity of our team and members. So, please join us and add your voice to the conversation and your hands to the action.

There are a number of ways that you can support BirdLife and contribute to protecting Australia’s birds. Many people choose to become a Wildbird Protector and give a regular amount each month. Others become members to be more involved and have a say by voting at AGMs or taking up office-bearer positions. Members and Wildbird Protectors receive Australian Birdlife, the quarterly award-winning bird and habitat conservation magazine and e-news. Members also get access to online and print science-based journals and publications.
