The big issue may be balancing the time you spend in each activity?

What does a Knowledge Broker do? Good Question!

The Southern NSW Innovation Hub Western Knowledge Broker Project commenced in 2024. Western Landcare NSW (WLNSW) as host organisation, employed two Knowledge Brokers and contracted a Project support officer. Across the Southern Hub region there were varied examples of how the project could proceed. The Knowledge Brokers began by defining the Western Regions priorities.

Project support also changed from the initial contractor to the WLNSW Regional Landcare Coordinator. The Knowledge Broker Project concluded in the Western Region at the end of April 2025.
