Who we are

In Melbourne, water is essential to our way of life. As caretakers of Melbourne's water cycle and catchments, we care for water, life, and land across the city. From protecting storages and preparing for floods, to restoring waterways and supporting thriving communities, our work shapes how Melbourne lives. At the same time, we plan for the future, preparing for climate challenges in a growing city and ensuring it remains resilient for generations to come. If you want your work to make a real difference, are willing to dive into complex challenges, and believe in doing what is right, you will find your place here.
