River Ecology Australia

River Ecology Australia provides practical, science‑based freshwater ecology services across New South Wales and Australia. Our work spans ecological assessment, macroinvertebrate taxonomy, research, and community education — helping groups understand, monitor, and restore the health of their waterways.

​

With deep expertise in river‑health assessment, macroinvertebrate ecology, and freshwater ecosystem processes, we support councils, landholders, First Nations organisations, environmental teams, and community groups with high‑quality ecological data, interpretation, and reporting. Our taxonomic services include professional family‑level identification and research‑grade macroinvertebrate analysis to support monitoring programs and restoration projects.

​

Alongside our assessment and research work, we deliver hands‑on education and citizen‑science training. Our workshops cover water‑quality demonstrations, waterbug sampling and identification, riparian and habitat assessment, ecological reporting, and long‑term community monitoring. These programs build real capability and help communities collect meaningful data, understand results, and demonstrate the ecological outcomes of restoration work.
