The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of Australian evidence on environmental reporting literature. It looks at and analyses the contemporary research articles that investigate the environmental reporting practices in annual reports in Australia with a view to map out to what extent current environmental practices have been defined in the Australian literature and what is yet to be explored. This paper discusses in details what studies have been done in this field in Australia, how they have been conducted and what issues or implications come out of these studies. It will help the prospective researchers in this field to ponder on what else needs to be done and what other methods or improvements can be applied or made in doing so.
