Citizen Science programs provide a important source of data about biodiversity. Data and insights gained through the efforts of citizen scientists enable us to learn more about our environments by creating additional data sources.
Great Southern BioBlitz
The Great Southern BioBlitz is an international period of intense biological surveying in an attempt to record all the living species across the Southern Hemisphere in Spring. The survey will run between 20 – 23 September. Participants in the event will then have a further 14 days to upload and identify all of their observations made during this period to the iNaturalist Australia platform.
The Great Glossy Count is a citizen science event led by BirdLife Australia, which collects data across the entire distribution of the South-eastern Glossy Black-Cockatoo. Participant citizen scientists spend at least one hour at any time during the Count weekend exploring their selected survey site to collect data on Glossies and their feeding habitat.
Citizen scientists can join the Count as a group or bring a friend along for a great opportunity to enjoy time in nature while supporting the recovery of threatened birds.
Join the National Koala Monitoring Program’s experts as they look at koalas and how to find these elusive furry icons. Explore conservation, ecology, biology, and the use of data, maths, and tech in real-world science.
FrogID is a project by the Australian Museum that involves recording and identifying frog calls. Our frogs are under threat from habitat loss, disease and climate change. The FrogID data helps researchers monitor frog populations and biodiversity.
Record frog calls with the FrogID app for our scientists to listen and identify and help provide valuable data for the protection and conservation of frogs.

The National Waterbug Blitz is a nationwide waterway monitoring event. Everyone is encouraged to become ‘citizen scientists’ and investigate the health their local waterways and wetlands by exploring and identifying the waterbugs.
The Aussie Backyard Bird Count is a great birdwatching and monitoring projects. Students can participate in bird surveys, recording the species they see and their behaviours.
Australia has a unique range of native bee species. You can learn about these bees and participate in bee monitoring projects to help researchers understand and protect these important pollinators.
The Australian Pollinator Count is taking place during Australian Pollinator Week, from 9 – 17November. Taking part is quick and easy. You simply need to observe some flowers for 10 minutes, record the pollinators you see and register your results.
These projects not only provide valuable data for research but also offer a hands-on and engaging way to learn about the environment and scientific processes.
