Members who are interested in joining their branches to CVIAQ membership can now do so by following the link listed at the bottom of this article. At $150.00 + GST branch membership is a cost effective and efficient means of having your staff in regional areas receive all the industry news, advice and technical information that corporate ordinary and associate members currently receive. Additionally the contact person at a branch can contact CVIAQ direct to assist with any specific industry queries.

The CVIAQ welcome the introduction of branch membership as a means of providing a core base of members in major regional centres through which further membership recruitment of industry connected businesses can be made. The advantages of a strong regional member base provides CVIAQ with knowledge of the issues facing member companies in the regions as well as being able to offer some of the benefits that Brisbane based members have always had.

Branch members are wholly or majority owned subordinate branches/offices of a Corporate Ordinary or Associate member who makes an application that is accepted by the Board for their branch/es to be included as branch members. Branch members must have the same business name as their head office or the Board will make enquiries to ensure that the applicant company is a true branch of the parent business before accepting the membership application.
