Governance
A Council is elected each year to provide voluntary administration and organisation of the Society. The Council organises functions, engages with students, represents the organisation at conferences and meetings, and advises on the strategic direction of the organisation.
We are always looking for members to involve themselves in the running of the organisation. Please contact us on admin@esaact.org.au to express your interest in becoming involved.
Our ACT Council members are listed with their organisations - to show the range of institutions in Canberra. The Council members are elected as individuals to the Council and are not purporting to represent their employers.
