What the ACT Committee does
The ACT Committee gives members the opportunity to develop strategies to tackle local issues as well as contribute to the national agenda. Committee participants are often called upon to represent Consult Australia in local engagement activities (including
meetings with government agencies etc). The ACT Committee meets monthly and requires engaged individuals.
Latest 'top 3 takeaways'
The 'top 3 takeaways' summarise key issues discussed at the last meeting. These are to help the broader membership understand the activities of the ACT Committee.
- Events - The ACT is committed to ensuring that all ACT events are inclusive and welcoming to all attendees. There will be a focus on the production of discussion themes for all Boardroom Lunch events, with increased diversity of attendees and seating arrangements for greater engagement of all at the table.
- Engagement - Our engagement with Major Projects Canberra (MPC) is one of our core priorities. The quarterly forums between MPC and Consult Australia aims to improve the business environment to the benefit of both our members and the project needs of MPC.
- Graduate recruitment - Graduate recruitment in ACT continues to be a challenge. The ACT Committee will look to leverage the FutureNet activities to engage and promote our industry as a career path, alongside engagement with universities.
