Taking Woodside and the government regulator, NOPSEMA, to court was a huge risk for a small not-for-profit like ours, but we did it because of the immense harm that fossil fuels cause.

We need your support to keep going. Every donation, large or small, will go directly to ensuring DEA can keep standing up to fossil fuel giants like Woodside.

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated so far! We are so close to reaching our goal! Please share and donate if you can: https://chuffed.org/project/145557-support-dea-protect-your-health

Groundbreaking research released today measures the health impacts of Woodsides Scarborough Gas Project. It shows the harm to our health and the health of our environment.

We cannot pretend that greenhouse gas emissions from any one fossil fuel project don’t count.

We need our government to fix the regulations to stop these assaults to our planet and ourselves.

Last week, members of Doctors for the Environment Australia attended the Collaboration & Leadership for Sustainable Healthcare Symposium.

It was a fantastic opportunity for our DEA members to share their knowledge and ideas on how we can build sustainable, climate-ready health systems.

Guided by the principle of ‘first do no harm’, it is incumbent on the healthcare sector to be part of the solution and urgently 'get its own house in order'.

A huge thank you to Monash University and the University of Melbourne, who partnered with the Alfred Emergency Academic Centre to put on this important event.
