Description
About Bill Phillips
Born at Lake Cargelligo, Bill Phillips grew up in the farming communities of Trundle in central New South Wales, Harden-Murrumburah and Tocumwal on the River Murray. He attended Finley High School and then completed a Bachelor of Science and PhD in Zoology at the Australian National University in 1985 before joining the Australian National Parks and Wildlife Service (ANPWS).
While employed by the ANPWS (later to become the Australian Nature Conservation Agency, and then Environment Australia) Bill has worked across a range of program areas including the National Koala Conservation Program, Ocean Rescue 2000, Save the Bush and One Billion Trees. In each of these roles Bill developed his skills for policy development, strategic planning, program management and liaison with stakeholders.
It was during this same period that Bill was among the first representatives of the Commonwealth Environment portfolio to participate in the working groups of the Murray-Darling Basin Commission and this honed his skills in integrated natural resource management and catchment management which have served him well since.
