• IICA OBJECTIVES

• Promote the standardisation of measuring
  instruments.
• Encourage education in theory and practice of
  instrumentation and control and
• allied subjects.
• Foster high standards for design and
  manufacture of instrumentation and control
  techniques.
• Further the science and practice of
  measurement, instrumentation and control.

  their knowledge.

FORUMS FOR ENCHANCING KNOWLEDGE

• Symposia
• Exhibitions
• National Conference

Beginnings of the IICA

• In the early 1940s, Paul Crivelli (GM of ABACUS
  Instrument Co), arranged a regular monthly
  luncheon with a number of Melbourne men involved
  in instrumentation.
• Following this at a public meeting on 24 August
  1943 a motion for the formation of The Australian
  Society of Instrument Technology (A.S.I.T.) was
  passed. It is believed that this was the first
  national technical society in the world to be
  formed specifically to deal with instrumentation
  only.
• During 1944 several members travelled to Sydney
  and addressed a gathering of instrument people
  there, as a result of which, the Australian
  Institute of Instrument Technology (A.I.I.T.) was
  formed in Sydney.

5
Beginnings of the IICA

• In November 1957 The Society of Instrument
  Technology Australia was Incorporated under the
  Victorian Companies Act (SITA).
• On 10 November 1966, the name of the amalgamated
  body was officially changed to the Institute of
  Instrumentation and Control Australia. And in
  October 2002 the Institutes name was changed to
  the Institute of Instrumentation, Control and
  Automation Australia.

INITIATIVES

• Survey of key personnel in various different
  industries to determine what they would
• like out of IICA.
• Restructured SA division committee to represent
  a balance between Industry and Vendor
• based professionals working very well.
• Looking at additional value adding services for
  our members, such as discount training
• courses, seminars, etc.
• New vibrant secretariat which also looks after
  other similar Australian organisations.
• IICA is becoming more involved with the local
  statutory and standards bodies. Also working
• more closely with our Universities and TAFEs
  to ensure the future of our profession.
• Very keen to have a closer tie with ISA and
  also eventually becoming a part of the
• Automation Federation.

13
INITIATIVES

• In the past IICA members have been
  predominantly vendor based. Industry based
• members have traditionally been of an
  engineering background. We are looking at
• encouraging more trades based personnel to
  join through training incentives etc.
• Proactively looking at encouraging a more
  diverse group of members
• to join our divisional committees.
