Green Steps Program

Green Steps is an innovative sustainability training and consultancy program, run by the Monash Sustainability Institute in partnership with the Greenhouse Challenge Plus program (Commonwealth Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts).

Through a combination of training and work-based placements and projects, the program explores environmental and sustainability issues and equips participants with the tools and confidence to be effective change agents working within organisations towards sustainability.

Green Steps is a challenging and rewarding program that brings together people passionate about creating positive environmental change. Running since 2000, the program has a growing national alumni of over 350 people and is delivered in most Australian states.
