About us

The role of the New South Wales Member Group committee is to be the ambassadors of IChemE at a local level and assist in the delivery of the Institution's mission, through events, technical meetings, networking, professional development and promotion of the chemical and process engineering profession.

IChemE's Australian branch is governed by a national Board. The Board is made of representatives, usually the chair from each member group committee.

The group network is designed to provide support to IChemE members by running events and technical meetings, support chemical engineers striving to achieve corporate membership and promotion of chemical engineering to industry and students.

The activities program offers opportunities for members to network, share ideas and promote the discipline at a state level, and are tailored to meet local needs. Typical events include technical seminars, site visits and social events.

The committee joins with the Engineers Australia New South Wales Chemical Branch to form the Joint Chemical Engineering Committee (JCEC) New South Wales, which organizes New South Wales events, support and promotion.
