Standards Australia is the nation's leading independent, non-government, not-for-profit standards organisation. It develops standards that make Australian industries safer, more efficient and more competitive.
As Australia's representative to international standards bodies like the International Organization for Standardization, Standards Australia helps align local standards with global best practices.
Consult Australia and Engineers Australia are ‘nominating organisations’ for Standards Australia, which means they can put forward qualified professionals to join influential standards committees.
“In the spirit of ‘leading through collaboration’, Consult Australia and Engineers Australia are working together to open more doors for our members to get involved with Standards Australia committees,” says Kristy Eulenstein, Consult Australia’s Head of Policy and Government Relations.
Standards Australia committees contribute to work that shapes industry innovation. Current open opportunities range from masonry structures to soil testing, high voltage installations to water restoration.
"Volunteering on a Standards Australia committee is a chance to contribute to vital industry work while gaining valuable professional development,” Kristy concludes.
Nomination is a straightforward process. For committees where both Consult Australia and Engineers Australia have vacancies, complete an Expression of Interest (EOI) form:
