Chrismas/New year closure: the EDO Qld Office will be closed from 5pm Monday 21 December 2009, until 9am Monday 11 January 2010.

The Environmental Defenders Office (Qld) Inc. is a non-profit, non-government community legal centre dedicated to providing legal advice and representation to individuals and community groups working to protect the environment. We are part of a national network of EDOs working to protect the environment in the public interest. EDO Qld has been helping people use the law to protect the environment since 1989.

EDO Qld takes an active role in environmental law reform and policy formation. We advocate proactively for law reform as well as contributing as a stakeholder in government consultation processes.

EDO Qld education program helps build the community's skills and knowledge aiming to empower citizens and to facilitate public participation in environmental decision making. We run workshops and produce Fact sheets and monthly Bulletins. If you are interested in hosting a workshop in your region, please contact our office.

EDO Qld is driven and supported by its members. As a non-profit society, the EDO relies on donations to carry out public interest legal work. Our members gain insight to complex environmental issues while helping to influence Queensland's environment and its future in a positive, constructive manner.

EDO Qld receives base funding from the Commonwealth and State Community Legal Service Funding Programs and Queensland EPA project funding, but also relies on donations from members and supporters.

In November 2008, The Queensland Government's Gambling Community Benefit Fund provided over $5,000 for EDO Qld to purchase new computers and office furniture for use by volunteers. Thank you!
