Desert Knowl­edge Aus­tralia Services

Desert Knowl­edge Aus­tralia acts as Man­ag­er of the Desert Knowl­edge Precinct and its pri­ma­ry oper­a­tions, and ful­fils the respon­si­bil­i­ty of achiev­ing the aspi­ra­tions of the DKA Board via its Strate­gic Plans, includ­ing fos­ter­ing flag­ship projects, such as Codes 4 Life and the Intyal­heme Cen­tre for Future Ener­gy.

DKA proud­ly acknowl­edges the Arrernte peo­ple as the cus­to­di­ans and First Knowl­edge hold­ers of the coun­try on which the Desert Knowl­edge Precinct is located.

DKA works with the peo­ple, com­mu­ni­ties and organ­i­sa­tions of cen­tral Aus­tralia who share our vision for strong resilient remote com­mu­ni­ties, to form part­ner­ships, oppor­tu­ni­ties, and deliv­ery of projects that bring tan­gi­ble val­ue to the desert region.

DKA facil­i­tates inno­v­a­tive projects that:

  • Pro­mote social well­be­ing and pos­i­tive change for our region
  • Aim to achieve cli­mate-adap­tive, resilient remote communities
  • Explore and deliv­er tech­nol­o­gy rel­e­vant to sus­tain­able desert living
  • Cre­ate research oppor­tu­ni­ties that sup­port eco­nom­ic growth
