Base membership services
Industry support
AMMA members receive a
wide range of industry support services as part of their base membership
subscription.
AMMA support services are
geared specifically towards the resources sector and allied industries and
range from facilitating industry forums to lobbying. The full range of our
industry support services is listed below.
- Lobbying: AMMA is the
resources sector member of the Australian Chamber of Commerce and
Industry. AMMA also has strategic alliances with the Minerals Council of
Australia and the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association.
Through these strategic links, AMMA is able to influence significant
national issues that may impact on members.
- Cooperative action: AMMA maintains close
ties with relevant employer and industry organisations that share a common
goal. We work cooperatively with these organisations to bring about a
legislative and policy environment that is beneficial to AMMA members.

Advocacy:
AMMA
provides advocacy on Industry Awards, thus ensuring a coordinated response from
industry in all award based claims. AMMA is also involved in major test cases
on behalf of the resources sector that involve representation before tribunals.
·
Research:
The
Board Reference Group is driven by the AMMA Board, and plays a key role in
identifying current and emerging human resources and employee relations issues.
The Board Reference Group then provides strategic input into the development of
an industry position on those issues. Supportive research may be externally
commissioned or conducted by AMMA staff, as appropriate.

Information
services: AMMA
provides timely information to its members via the monthly AMMA Bulletin,
national and branch circulars, emails and the AMMA website.

Networking and information exchange
There are many
opportunities for members to network and obtain timely information through
regular AMMA forums, as well as through the AMMA National Conference.
- AMMA forums: AMMA branches
facilitate regular industry forums at locations convenient to our members,
many of whom are based in remote locations. These forums are designed to
keep members abreast of important issues that affect the resources
sector. In addition to our own in-house experts, AMMA also secures
external speakers to present on a range of relevant topics. AMMA forums
also act as an excellent networking opportunity, facilitating the exchange
of information.
- AMMA National Conference: The AMMA National
Conference is an annual event, attended by decision makers in the resource
sector.
