The SAA was formed to support members in the scaffolding industry in Australia. Providing guidance and up to date industry information as well as explaining changes in regulation and legal requirements that are relevant to your business. The SAA advocates to the government on issues that are important to the industry. The SAA has a successful track record in lobbying the government and representing members in meetings with government organisations.

As a former board member and now a Committee Member in Queensland of the SAA, I support the board and contribute to the goals and mission of the SAA.
