Rangers ensure that the Queensland's national parks, state forests and reserves are protected, accessible and valued by all Queenslanders.

Rangers work in partnership with local communities and other stakeholders to contribute to the land management, recreational and conservation outcomes across the protected areas which are managed by DES under the Nature Conservation Act 1992, Recreation Areas Management Act 2006, Marine Parks Act 2004, Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Actn 1975, Forestry Act 1959 and other relevant legislation.

Rangers may work across five focus areas dependent on operational need, including Pest Management, Fire Management, Estate Management, Visitor Management and Assets and Safety.


As such, Rangers may turn their hands to a wide range of jobs that can be safely undertaken by non-tradespersons.
