Geological Society of Australia
The Geological Society of Australia was established as a non-profit organisation in 1952 to promote, advance and support Earth sciences in Australia.
Vision: Earth Science is a driver for a better world.
Description: The Geological Society of Australia represents all Earth Science disciplines.
Mission: The Mission of the Geological Society of Australia is to promote and advance Earth Science.
In order to achieve this Mission, the GSA will:
1. Promote the understanding and importance of Earth Science, and the status of Earth Scientists
2. Influence decision-making processes to support geoscience education, research and employment
3. Provide professional development opportunities
4. Communicate with and inform the Earth Science community
5. Practise good governance and management.
As a broadly based professional society that aims to represent all Earth Science disciplines, the GSA attracts a wide diversity of members working in a similarly broad range of industries. This diversity is one of the great strengths of the Society, but can also be challenging when it comes to setting priorities for the GSA.
