Peak Body

Often this requires member involvement which occurs in the form of survey/data collection as well as inviting members for expressions of interest for Committees and Working Groups focusing on critical activities ie COVID-19,AS/NZS 4187, PHI, state-based Regulations along with other activities at either a local or national level.
