The Victorian Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) employs more than 4,800 staff in 91 locations across the state and brings together Victoria's climate change, biodiversity protection, resources, water, energy, land management, agriculture and forest and fire management functions. DEECA is dedicated to improving Victoria's liveability while protecting the state's natural environment, infrastructure, and heritage for future generations.
