Overview

As the largest industry body of its kind in Australia, AMEC’s primary objective is to secure a political and commercial environment that fosters mineral exploration and mining within Australia.

Some of AMEC’s key strengths are:

• AMEC is free of ‘capture’ by large companies paying enormous subscriptions and as a consequence, is not driven by the specific interests of large companies. This credibility enables AMEC to retain strong relationships with key stakeholders and political parties at the highest levels and provides members with an advocacy power they could not otherwise generate.

• AMEC provides Members with opportunities for significant commercial benefits which can exceed the cost of membership. In other words, membership with AMEC can be cash-flow positive.

• AMEC has a national presence and represents the interests of the industry at both a State and Federal level.

AMEC’s credibility is further enhanced by the fact that all AMEC members subscribe to the ‘Fundamental Principles of AMEC Membership’ which are the values embraced by members as essential to the way in which they conduct their business and interact with the broader community.
