Hello members

Thanks to the NT Members who attended the 2 Coffee Connect meetings in Darwin recently, it was great to meet so many new faces, new and old. We had some great conversations, and I am looking forward to working with the NTCA on implementing some of the ideas that came up. One huge opportunity is for provisional and younger members to join our newly formed NT Young CA's Subcommittee. This group will assist the NTCA to identify and deliver activities aimed at connecting young members, so if you are interested, please reach out.

We also had an insightful roundtable event with various business leaders from across Darwin, discussing how we can work to attract and retain more talent in the profession in the NT. Al Gounder and Jazz Patel visited from Sydney and provided an overview of the work being done in marketing the attractiveness of the profession, the new CA Program pathways, and how we are working to promote the CA designation throughout Asia and advocating for skilled migration to support the talent needs of the profession. It was a great discussion, and I look forward to continuing to work with the SA/NT Council and the NTCA in this area.

Later this week we have the 2024 SA/NT AGM, which will be available on livestream for NT members. We will be announcing the 2 new elected SA/NT Council Members at the AGM and sharing a summary of activity, both regionally and across the whole organisation during the meeting. Please ensure you have registered if you would like to attend online.
