Queensland / Northern Territory

The Queensland/Northern Territory Branch is an active community of architectural practices, providing a platform for members to establish one-to-one relationships with peers, and to learn and grow at all stages of a practice’s journey.

Your ACA experience is built through engagement, connecting with other like-minded professionals in the field, and enhancing your knowledge and skills through participation in events, webinars, roundtables, forums and social activities.

ACA LEADERS

Members step up to serve on the Committee of Management, which includes representatives from small, medium, and large practices. They volunteer their time to serve as leaders for the wider profession and are responsible for the branch’s activities, financial management and initiatives to advocate and cultivate meaningful change.

EVENTS

ACA QLD/NT hosts a diverse range of engaging activities, including face-to-face gatherings such as lunch forums, site tours, webinars, and two lively social events. These gatherings serve as invaluable opportunities for us to connect with our members across Queensland and the Northern Territory, fostering meaningful interactions and enhancing collaboration within our architectural community.
