Australia’s mining and mineral exploration industry makes an incredible contribution to our nation’s economy and long-term prosperity.
The industry is also investing in community partnerships and projects across the country, ensuring that the social and community benefits of our industry are shared.
Australia remains one of the world’s leading mining jurisdictions, and one of the best locations for investing in mineral resources. These resources include the minerals used for infrastructure development and energy provision around the world. Australia is also well-placed to meet the growing need for critical minerals, which are essential to high-tech digital technologies and the advanced energy systems of the future.
At a national level, there are many significant issues that are the responsibility of the Federal Government and Federal Parliament that affect the mining industry. These include, corporate tax and regulation, federal environment legislation, native title legislation and a wide range of national initiatives.
To address these issues AMEC has a number of Standing Committees that look closely at these matters and help the Association to develop positions for advocacy and representation to Federal Government.
AMEC regularly travels to Canberra to meet with federal parliamentarians and federal ministers to ensure that our members views are well known and are front and centre in the decision-making process.
We have a number of regular national events held throughout the year including our annual dinner and awards. To find out what AMEC events are happening around the country, head to our events page.
