About Origin Energy

Origin Energy 's support for the South Australian Museum reflects increasing community concern for a natural world where we all must share a responsibility for the future.

We want to:

• Preserve Australia 's natural heritage and ensure that important fossils discovered here stay in Australia.

• Support a project that helps us learn from the past so we may better understand the future.

• Today, with the threat of global warming, all Australians can make informed energy choices to ensure a more sustainable future.

Origin Energy At Work The 'Origin Energy Fossil Gallery' sponsorship captured the imagination of Origin Energy staff in June when they needed to decorate their National Customer Contact Centre for this year's judging of the Teleservice Centre of the Year awards. Their theme was the restored 120 million year old plesiosaur in the Origin Energy Fossil Gallery. Some of the Origin decorators featured with the South Australian Museum Director Dr Tim Flannery, are (l-r) Kylie Thistleton, Emma Cowley and Tabatha Watson.
