PACFA Committees

There are 6 committees currently undertaking activities on behalf of PACFA and our Member Associations.

Each Committee is chaired by either a PACFA Board Member or members of the Professional Pracitce Committee and other committee members from our Member Associations. Committee members are nominated and elected at the PACFA Council Meeting and/or Annual General Meeting in accordance with our Constitution.

Each Committee reports to the PACFA Board on a quarterly basis and to the Council twice yearly, at the Annual General Meeting and the PACFA Council Meeting.

The activities undertaken by the Committee's are a reflection of the priorities of our Member Associations. If you would like to be involved with any of these projects please speak with the PACFA delegate at your Member Association.
