About the Directory

The Directory of Australian Geoscientists has been established to provide a permanent register of professional geoscientists, employed in all sectors of industry, government and education throughout Australia, open to all geoscience professionals.

The directory has two principal objectives:

To provide a readily accessible reference of Australian geoscientists. This could be used to locate former colleagues and peers, to identify geoscientists working in specific fields, or with particular areas of experience and expertise.

To collect information relating to employment, education and training of geoscientists that may be used to generate hard statistical evidence to demonstrate the "cyclical" nature of sectors of the Australian and State economies in which geoscientists are employed, and support efforts by all professional bodies to enhance the perception, standing and employment opportunities of geoscientists in Australia.

Contributors have the option of electing not to be included in the published component of the directory, while still contributing data to be used for statistical purposes, or to elect the level of information about them to be published (eg. name only, name and contact details, name and details of professional association membership or a combination of these). The directory will be kept up to date by allowing contributors to update their information at any time.

Directory contribution forms may be downloaded from the web site, or completed and submitted on-line. Contributors using the on-line option will be provided with an authentication code that may be used to update their directory entry at any time.

Information authorised for publication by individual contributors will only be made available publicly through a dedicated area of AIG’ s web site www.aig.asn.au/directory. This will enable the database to be searched, but only information authorised for publication by individual contributors will be displayed.

The full directory database will not be made available to any other party, to ensure the confidentiality of information provided by contributors. Partial extracts of information and statistical summaries of data relating to the employment, education and training data will be published periodically.

Where contributors have authorised that their Name and Professional Association may be published, a listing (Name and Professional Association only) will periodically be generated for the relevant Professional Association to validate. Publicly claiming membership of an organisation inappropriately may be regarded by some bodies as a breach of their Code of Ethics.

No information will be sold or otherwise provided to commercial organisations for marketing purposes.

All professional geoscientists in Australia are encouraged to support the directory by contributing information, and promoting the directory and its objectives to their colleagues and friends. The directory has an important role in the continuing development of geoscience professions in Australia that will be directly enhanced by your contribution.

The directory is maintained as a service to the geoscientific professions by the Australian Institute of Geoscientists.
