Long-range forecasts for climate and water are critical to building Australia’s resilience to its future changes in fires, floods and droughts. We’ll be combining great technical, scientific and supercomputing capability with a deep understanding of impacts, exposure and vulnerability to further improve one of the best long-range forecasting services in the world.

Oversee the delivery of the Bureau's Climate Monitoring and Outlook Services, to ultimately bring together the past, present and future into one seamless assessment of climate risk. And to make sure this climate risk intelligence is delivered via multiple channels to make maximum value.
