Funding allocation
The $1.219 billion Jobs for Nature programme funding has allocated across the five responsible agencies.
Please note, in June 2021, $26.6 million from the Jobs for Nature programme was reprioritised to the wider roll-out of cameras on-board fishing vessels. This has meant that the total allocation for the Jobs for Nature programme has changed from $1.245 to $1.219 billion.
