For School or TAFE groups we are co-located with Greenskills Inc and Eco-jobs: ready to help you find work, get a project off the ground or find environmental training options.

As the ETC is a not-for-profit organisation which relies on research grants and special funding to operate we must charge for some services. We aim to be equitable and are always prepared to negotiate our rates. The higher charges for Corporate and Government tours allows us to offer tours to community groups and schools at a much reduced rate. If your community or school group would like to visit the etc, but the charge would proclude you from doing so, please ring the office to discuss a fee-waiver.

While we enjoy having casual day visitors to the ETC, it is not always possible for us to give the casual unannounced visitor private tours or free consultancy services. Mondays and Wednesdays are good days for casual visitors to drop by.
