Many government and non-government organisations with an interest in heritage conservation provide information and advice on natural and cultural heritage issues. Some have produced detailed guides and references related to heritage, so you may want to contacts them for more information about the state and area in which you are working.

Australian Heritage Websites (www.heritage.gov.au) is a gateway jointly sponsored by Commonwealth and state government heritage agencies. It provides links to online information including government and non-government heritage organisations, databases and legislation.
