MEMBER REFERRALS
Being a member of IPA has many benefits, one being the ability to learn from other member companies within our network. We find it extremely rewarding to facilitate these connections, enabling this resource.
If you have any business issues that need to be resolved, remember that other companies have more than likely been through the same challenges and can help point you in the right direction. Please reach out to your IPA contact to see if we know of someone who can potentially help.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM PAST EVENTS
Please follow our LinkedIn company page by clicking the link below to keep updated with event highlights.
NSW Asset Care Forum
The recent Industry Partners Australia Asset Care forum at Atura Blacktown was attended by 40 asset, reliability, and maintenance professionals from within our membership.
We would like to thank Peter Lyons, Reliability Lead and Jim Cooley, Asset Performance Manager, from Origin Energy, for their presentations.
They shared their expertise, knowledge and practices with attendees covering:
⇒ Reliability ownership, teamwork and engagement
⇒ Asset care processes and condition management
⇒ Anomaly detection and condition monitoring technologies
It was during the middle part of our day that we had the opportunity to share and learn from the experiences of the 30+ organisations represented.
With an engaging and thought-provoking presentation, Rafe Britton from Lubrication Expert concluded the day.
Among the interesting statistics presented was the fact that 81% of professionals said lubrication was crucial, but of that 80%, only 30% believed they had best practice approaches.
This was another great Industry Partners Australia event where we continue to provide opportunities for Australian Industry to improve its capability.
National Conference 2022 - Shaping the Future.
Held in the beautiful Hunter Valley at the Oaks Cypress Lakes Resort, this event exceeded our expectations, considering the economic climate of 2022. The turnout was the biggest in our 30-year history, and the positive feedback was a testimony to the hard work and effort that was undertaken to make this event such an incredible success.
Click here for an overview of the conference for those who regretfully missed out on attending, but fear not, the announcement was made at the conference that planning has already begun for the next National Conference in 2024 on the sunny Gold Coast! All enquiries are welcomed and recommended to avoid the disappointment of missing out.
UPCOMING EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
Our Leader Retreats allow functional leaders to escape the day-to-day work environment to network, share challenges and successes, and learn something new.
Our retreats are held over two half-days and an evening dinner. With a focus on growing individual capability, we structure the workshops and agenda accordingly. Building networks and professional relationships is a high priority at our retreats that are held ‘out of town’ to support the right environment.
