How to find an Approved Adviser

Approved Advisers are qualified and experienced professionals who have undergone a rigorous assessment and application process managed by QRIDA. This approval process ensures the carbon farming advice provided to land holders meets the required standard.

Disclaimer

Whilst the approved advisers have been assessed on their qualifications, experience and memberships/associations, the State of Queensland makes no guarantees that the advice provided by an approved adviser, is quality, accurate, complete or suitable for your purposes. Approved advisers bring a range of experience and skills and it may be appropriate to seek advice from different advisers and to consider whether the advice you are receiving is independent.
