Chemistry Australia is the peak body for the Australia chemistry industry, and advocates for the economic, societal and environmental value of the chemicals and plastics sector.
Membership of Chemistry Australia offers professionals working in the Australian chemistry industry and its value chains the opportunity to connect with this important advocacy work and be recognised for their service and contribution to the industry.
We are keen to build and strengthen interest in Chemistry Australia’s advocacy on behalf of the industry so that industry professionals are well equipped to influence other forums they are a part of, including in professional associations, which are increasingly advocating on issues of interest to the chemical industry.
For Chemistry Australia, we look forward to building connections and relationships with all professionals working in our industry and its value chains. It provides an opportunity for our Chemistry Australia Leadership Institute graduates and other professionals to have a voice in the industry they may one day lead.
