Who are we?

Written by admin

Wed 03rd Jan 2007

The Australian Rope Access Association (formally the Industrial Rope Access Association) was formed in 1997 by a group of independent access workers to meet and further the interests of Australian Industrial Access Companies/Workers.

It is hoped that the organisation will fill a void that is currently in Australia, while fostering good relations with existing International Organisations and Associations.

The ARAA is governed and run by a committee according to its rules of association. The committee must be comprised of the President, Vice President, Treasuer, Secretary and three ordinary members. Please click on the States to access the committee members.

These roles are appointed by the members at the annual general meeting.
