OUR ASSOCIATES

Associations have an important role to play through activities like contributing to the development of effective policy, regulation and industry standards, all things that ultimately benefit our industry, the economy, and society as a whole.

Depending on the circumstances, association memberships can also provide insight into industry thinking around important issues like health and safety, the environment, indigenous reconciliation, regional communities and community engagement.

They also offer the opportunity to exchange views and experiences with other members, including those who may hold views different to ours. That diversity of thought is something we see as a positive; an opportunity for different attitudes and positions to contribute to open debate, discussion and hopefully consensus on complex issues.
