SEAV's objective is to accelerate progress towards a sustainable energy future by bringing together the best available knowledge and expertise to stimulate innovation and provide Victorians with greater choice in how they can take action to significantly improve energy sustainability.

On October 1 2005, Sustainable Energy Authority Victoria and EcoRecycle Victoria joined forces to become Sustainability Victoria.Sustainability Victoria will act as a catalyst for change by:

• providing a vehicle to support the tangible delivery of the Government's Framework for Environmental Sustainability;
• focusing on changing behaviour by providing advice and assistance to inform decision-making by individuals, businesses, governments and communities to act in a more environmentally sustainable way; and
• facilitating innovation through supporting the development and application of technologies and processes that will produce change that may not otherwise garner support.

The Sustainable Energy Authority has the following functions: the provision of information and advice on sustainable energy to all sectors of the Victorian community; the promotion and encouragement of the use of sustainable energy across all sectors of the Victorian economy; the encouragement and development of an economically viable renewable energy and energy efficiency industry in Victoria; the monitoring and evaluation of research and development on sustainable energy; and the provision of advice to the Minister on policies concerning sustainable energy and related greenhouse pollution issues.
