In recognition of his contributions to land care and the environment, he was awarded the Order of Australia Medal in 2012. He also led Australian Landcare International for a decade before stepping down in the 2010s. Together with his family, Rob manages 268 hectares of bushland around St Arnaud, Victoria, focusing on habitat conservation, revegetation, carbon storage and restoring pond chains.
