About the QRA

The Queensland Ranger Association (QRA) promotes the interests of Rangers in Queensland.

The objectives of the QRA are:

  • To promote best practise in managing the Queensland environment by its members and participate in the enhanced performance of the management authorities for the Queensland environment.
  • To promote the awareness and importance of Industrial representation of its members and encourage the participation in Industrial issues through membership of a union.
  • To represent its members in communication and negotiations with officers of the management authorities of the Queensland environment.
  • Monitor, protect and enhance employment, general working conditions and social justice issues affecting its members, and monitor and promote equity between regions.

The QRA provides a unified voice for Rangers and has regular meetings with QPWS Senior Directors to discuss issues that are important to Rangers and to DERM. The association has a representative in each region who update the QRA Executive Group on local issues.
