Young NELA
Young NELA is dedicated to serving the interests of young practitioners and students across Australia who are interested in law, planning, natural resources, environmental engineering, environmental management, environmental science, environmental impact assessment and any other profession or studies involved in the environment.
Environmental issues are not governed by state boundaries, and Young NELA provides an opportunity for a truly national approach with committees being established across Australia .
Young NELA has a national, multi-disciplinar y approach to environmental law and policy and a focus on young practitioners and students across numerous disciplines.
Young NELA allows young practitioners to establish themselves within their area of practice by enhancing their professional skills through the provision of:
- Professional networking and mentoring opportunities
- Opportunities to participate in the development of environmental law and policy
- A social network.
The focus of Young NELA's program is to provide interactive workshops, which allow for a more responsive and rigorous exchange of information, rather than the simple the dissemination of commentary on environmental law.
