Across the region, 47 passionate people bring together more than 205 years of experience and 81 qualifications. 

Their collective knowledge spans the hands-on work of agriculture, environmental science, waterway restoration and First Nations engagement, through to the behind-the-scenes expertise of communications, administration, finance, health and safety, and leadership. 

The sounds of their days are as varied as their work.

In one place, it’s the rhythm of keyboards and the ring of phones. Elsewhere, a car ignition hums to life as the radio crackles on. 

Out on a verandah, a teacup meets its saucer, or cattle murmur softly through the grass. 

Different roles. Different rhythms.

But one thing never changes; the passion and dedication each person brings to their work. 

Every conversation is an opportunity to listen, share, and find a solution. 

It’s this collective drive that makes FBA one of Queensland’s leading natural resource management organisations, and a team where purpose is as deeply rooted as the landscapes they care for.
