The current AUSIT QLD branch would like to extend their welcome to any colleagues who are interested in joining the committee. Some of our committee members are ending their terms and we are seeking new committee members.

We have the Communications Officer position open for the coming year. Newcomers to these roles can be assured that they will have the full support of the outgoing position holder and the entire committee.

If you feel you’d prefer to not have such an active role, it is possible to join the committee without being allocated a position. Becoming a committee member requires you to attend a 90-minute meeting once a month, give your opinion where you see fit, engage in projects undertaken by the Committee, and provide a hand here and there with organising events. It doesn’t matter if you are new to the T/I profession, or a seasoned professional, all voices are valid and valued!

Some of the benefits of being part of the committee are:

• Increased awareness of inner workings of the industry
• First-hand ability to make a difference to the T/I profession
• Develop new professional relationships and contacts
• Reduce the isolation associated with our profession
• Be recognised amongst your peers and employers as someone who is actively engaged with the industry
• Gain greater professional recognition
• Allocation of PD points for your participation in the committee
• We're a friendly and lively bunch of people, and we can't wait to welcome you! By joining us, you'll get many amazing benefits.

If you have any questions about what is it like to be on the committee, please contact us at qld@ausit.org.

Don't miss the opportunity to learn more about our profession and the work of your Branch Committee over the past 12 months and to have a say in its future. For additional information or any queries, please contact the branch at qld@ausit.org.

Please ensure your Zoom name is the same used to register, so we can confirm participation. PD Certificates will be issued to confirmed attendees only.

We look forward to seeing you online, Wednesday, 7 October 2026!

Kind regards
Qld Branch Committee
