The Australian Government requires recovery plans to include an indicative estimate of costs for recovery actions. Specific budgets are not normally provided for plan implementation. While no specific budget allocation has been made with respect to this particular plan, Parks and Wildlife undertakes conservation activities for Carnaby's cockatoo as a high priority, in addition to management of other iconic threatened species, including through its flagship $3m per year
