WELCOME TO OUR SMART COMMUNITY

ASCA has created a membership structure and fees which will ensures that our offering is fair, equitable and valuable for all. We have considered how we can assist both the Cities and Regions, but also other sections of our Smart Community, such as the Private Sector and NGOs. We work hard to engage our membership, but we encourage members to engage, share and enjoy the benefits of membership.

  • ASCA's primary membership base has historically been the government sector, with a particular focus on Local Government who are usually at the front line in developing and fostering Smart Communities.

    ASCA however recognises the important role that the private sector plays by developing new technologies and driving innovation to support continuous improvement. ASCA also recognises that Smart City professionals are likely to move between organisations during their career, and the whole sector can benefit by having highly skilled, knowledgeable and well networked professionals working across all areas. As such, ASCA welcomes members from all sectors and organisations on the common understanding that the aim of becoming an ASCA member is to share peer-to-peer knowledge, create networks and collectively help to raise the skills and competence of Smart Communities professionals across Australia.

    We strongly encourage members to network, and build relationships with other members from across Australia. However, ASCA members should not use their membership as an opportunity to market or promote products and solutions to other ASCA members.

    There will be regular event sponsorship opportunities where those promotional opportunities will be provided. The ASCA Board reserves the right to suspend and/or cancel memberships in the instance where the peer-to-peer relationship of our members has been taken advantage of for commercial purposes.

  • In a General Meeting of members in October 2024 the ASCA Board adopted revisions to the Association Model Rules. These rules govern how the association operates and provide a clear oversight on the purpose of the association.
