AIMS Notice Board

On behalf of the AIMS board and myself, I would like to take this opportunity to wish every member and sponsor of AIMS and your families a very Merry Christmas and a safe, bright and prosperous New Year.

AIMS are seeking some exceptional original photos from our members for general use in AIMS related marketing, mine surveying career awareness, social media and general communication. With fantastic prizes to win we encourage all current members to participate.

The AIMS Board are already planning many professional and networking events in 2025 so that all members right around Australia can benefit from another busy year.

The AIMS Surveying prize for 2024 has been awarded to Ali Carrera (Bachelor of Spatial Science (Honours) - Surveying) from the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ).

Applications for new members now open for 2025.

The AIMS NSW Committee has received a research request and are supportive of the research being undertaken.

AIMS is pleased to extend the offer of free membership to all eligible full-time students for the full calendar year 2025.
