Future direction statement
The ANBG's future direction is guided by its vision, mission, goals and corporate values.

ANBG vision
  That Australians value, conserve and appreciate our diverse plant heritage.

ANBG mission
  To inspire, inform and connect people with Australian flora.
To achieve its vision and mission, the ANBG will continue to prioritise scientific and horticultural research that contributes to the description, classification and understanding of Australian plants and builds knowledge to support the conservation and sustainable use of Australian plants. The ANBG's work will be influenced by the examination and understanding of current threats to Australia's biological diversity, such as climate and landscape change. The ANBG will facilitate national and international policy and practice that continues to support the work of Australia's botanic gardens in biodiversity conservation.
The living collections will be managed to be the nation's pre-eminent scientific collections of well-documented Australian plants and seeds and will be housed in a garden based on state‑of-the-art horticulture practices for all visitors to enjoy. ANBG staff will continue to work with community and industry partners to advance horticultural practices for the cultivation of Australian plants.

The ANBG will be the accessible gateway to Australian plant information and knowledge and will continue to maintain strong partnerships to ensure its importance to Australian society through supporting world-class research and education. Its programs combining traditional knowledge, art and science, and collaborations with botanic gardens and national and state institutions, will enrich Australian society, build botanical knowledge and inspire conservation of Australia's unique plants.
