SELN is a gathering of Government extension leaders and influencers from each State and Territory of Australia. SELN strives to provide leadership and strategic direction in the development of State and National extension service delivery.

Extension is the process of enabling change in individuals, communities and industries involved in the primary industry sector and with natural resource management.
