Understanding the dashboard
Credit prices may vary according to a variety of factors, including relative supply and demand.
The Biodiversity Credits Market Sales Dashboard presents an overview of historical market activity (past transactions) and the latest prices for biodiversity credits created under the Biodiversity Offsets Scheme using the Biodiversity Assessment Method.
The Biodiversity Credits Market Sales Dashboard sources data from the Biodiversity Offset Scheme public registers.
It contains searchable data for:
- ecosystem credits
- species credits
- offset trading groups
- plant community type IDs
- biometric vegetation type IDs.

Dashboard limitations
The department aims to provide current information according to published data. Market participants should seek independent advice and use sound judgement in interpreting data from the Biodiversity Credits Market Sales Dashboard and applying the data to value credits.
Historic credit pricing and market activity are not predictors of future activity
The Biodiversity Credits Market Sales Dashboard only provides information about historical trades of biodiversity credits created under the Biodiversity Offsets Scheme. It can be used to support considerations about pricing but does not forecast or estimate future prices of biodiversity credits.
The dashboard does not include information about BioBanking credits
The data contained in the Biodiversity Credits Market Sales Dashboard:
- does not contain information about BioBanking credits created under the previous BioBanking Scheme— BioBanking information is in the BioBanking Credits Sales Dashboard
- does not contain information about BioBanking credits that have been assessed for equivalence to biodiversity credits
- does not show whether a credit was traded to meet an offset obligation or for another purpose.
The dashboard may not reflect typical processes for pricing credits
- Some credit sales are between related parties (for example, where the seller company is owned by the buyer) or may be ‘self-trades’ where the buyer and seller are the same.
- Some credit prices are based on an average price per credit where the seller has sold various types of credits in bulk rather than pricing each credit individually.
