Technical
Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
The Special Interest Groups were formed to achieve the following goals:
- Provide a forum to bring together FPA Australia members with allied interests, keeping them up to date and facilitating communication between these members on technical, standards, regulatory, safety and community safety issues.
- Develop relationships and links to industry and government.
- Improve the flow of industry-specific fire safety information to all members.
Membership of Special Interest Groups is open to all FPA Australia members who are able to demonstrate a professional contribution to the group through knowledge and expertise that is relative to the group’s focus.
Each SIG meets at least once per year, usually in Melbourne or Sydney. These meeting are often held via teleconference as well as face-to-face. All costs associated with travel and accommodation are met by the participant or their employer.
