NLN Welcomes Geoffrey O’Keefe to the Team!

Jan 9, 2026

The National Landcare Network is excited to welcome Geoff O’Keefe to the team as Program Delivery Manager, responsible for leading the design, delivery and continuous improvement of national programs that support Australia’s community-led Landcare movement. He brings more than 15 years’ experience in program management, capacity building and partnership-based delivery across complex, multi-stakeholder environments.

Geoff specialises in translating strategic priorities into practical, high-quality programs, with strengths in program design, monitoring and evaluation, stakeholder engagement and continuous learning. His background includes leading nationally and internationally funded initiatives, developing robust delivery frameworks, and working closely with governments, peak bodies, universities and community organisations to deliver outcomes that are inclusive, evidence-informed and place-based.

At NLN, Geoff focuses on strengthening delivery systems, supporting State and Territory Landcare Organisations, and ensuring programs are aligned with national priorities, value-for-money expectations and long-term impact for communities, landscapes and seascapes across Australia.

If you would like to get in in touch with Geoff and learn more about his work at the NLN, he can be reached at geoffrey.okeefe@nln.org.au.
