Since 2001, FutureNet has been helping young professionals who work in the built and natural environment develop the valuable networks and non-technical skills that are essential to success in today’s competitive marketplace. It aims to develop and grow links with other professional bodies, industry groups and academia to ensure young professionals attending our events are informed of up-to-date issues, ensuring they are on the cutting edge of their industry. Although FutureNet is owned and managed by Consult Australia, the ideas for events and selection of speakers happens thanks to the hard working committees that help drive the programs in each state. Each committee is made up of a number of FutureNet members, who come together every 1-2 months to assist Consult Australia’s State Managers in ensuring the events are relevant, valuable, well attended and run smoothly.
