Senate inquiry – job security for resources professionals

AusIMM represents professionals working at all levels of the resources sector, from exploration through to delivery, and in disciplines ranging from engineering to geology, environmental science, social performance, technology, finance, and management.

We are the Trusted Voice for professionals providing leadership and expertise across the whole mining life cycle and minerals value chain.

The breadth and depth of our members’ expertise gives us direct line of sight on the issues that are impacting people in resources. It is therefore incumbent on AusIMM to engage with our partners, including in government, to ensure resources professionals are supported to continue their important work.

The Australian Senate Select Committee on Job Security is currently conducting an inquiry into the impact of insecure and precarious employment on the Australian economy, community and workforce. AusIMM will be engaging with the Select Committee and contributing to this process.

You can learn more about the inquiry and terms of reference here.
