The Australian Conservation Coaches Network (CCNet Australia) is a network of workshop facilitators and conservation planners who apply a common planning framework, the Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation, to natural resource management projects in Australia. The Open Standards (aka Conservation Action Planning or Healthy Country Planning) is a systematic process for identifying measurable goals and actions based on a sound understanding of the biological, social and/or cultural components of a landscape. 

The network currently consists of around 30 coaches from NGOs, government agencies and private industry. The coaches taking part in CCNet Australia aim to work together to improve their knowledge and skills through peer-review, training, exchanges and mentoring. 

We also aim to build capacity in adaptive management across Australia and keep facilitators and practitioners updated on the latest developments.  Together, we seek to strengthen collaborative conservation efforts in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.
