Our profile and influence

The good standing and reputation of our members and the professionalism and experience of the Consult Australia team earns us a credible and respected profile with governments, institutions, your clients, and other stakeholders.

PIPELINE: Our goal is a smart project pipeline that delivers growth and prosperity for the industry. Our current pipeline campaigns include; building the case for infrastructure funding reforms and seeking a smarter approach to pipeline planning.
PRACTICE: Our aim is to enhance productivity through balanced reforms. Our current practice campaigns include; appropriate building compliance reforms and national registration of engineers.
Member-driven advocacy
We rely on active participation by members to drive our advocacy work. We have committees in each state and territory that drive local initiatives. We also have four roundtables that drive our national approach and lend support to the state/territory committees when needed. Also, to help us with particular campaigns or thought leadership pieces we create ad-hoc working groups.
