At the International Society of Arboriculture Australia Chapter (ISAAC) Annual General Meeting that occurred on 17 May 2010, the members resolved to change ISAAC’s name to Arboriculture Australia Ltd, to adopt an amended constitution and agreement was given to proceed with a merger with the National Arborists Association of Australia (NAAA). At a Special Extraordinary General Meeting held at Ryde TAFE on 2nd July 2010 the NAAA membership also voted unanimously in favour of the merger. The merger of NAAA and ISAAC provided a consolidated organisation that has improved the level of service to the memberships whilst allowing a greater impact on decision makers and allows for improve public awareness. The merger has created a more efficient organisation that continues to improve standards, provide education and legislation affecting our members along with maintaining the personalised service.

Arboriculture Australia Ltd is seeking feedback on our Proposed Industry Verification System which is a simple, visible framework designed to recognise qualifications, experience and commitment to professional conduct, while helping employers, clients, local government and the public identify verified arborists with greater confidence.

The proposal is not a licensing scheme or competency audit. It aims to strengthen professional standards, industry recognition and trust.

Watch the presentation recorded at the VTIO Seminar (many thanks to Shane Hall and the VTIO for the recording) and then give us your feedback via the survey on our website to help ensure the final system is practical, credible and valuable for our industry: https://loom.ly/5kFHUeU

🍏 Call for Abstracts | An Educated Industry Shaping Tomorrow’s Canopy

Whether you have new research to share, a successful project or case study, practical lessons from the field, or an idea that could challenge and inspire the industry, we would like to hear from you.

Arboriculture Australia invites arborists, researchers, educators, utility vegetation management professionals, industry leaders and other specialists to submit an abstract for the 2027 Arboriculture Australia Conference (18 - 20 April 2027 | Perth WA).

The 2027 theme is An Educated Industry Shaping Tomorrow’s Canopy. This theme recognises that the future of Australia’s trees depends on the knowledge, skills and professionalism of the people who manage them. Better education leads to better decisions and healthier trees, safer communities and more resilient urban forests.

The two-day speaker program will feature a general arb stream alongside a dedicated UAAA Stream, and we welcome practical, technical, research-based and thought-provoking presentations exploring:
• how we build and share arboricultural knowledge
• education, training and workforce development
• lifting professional and operational standards
• research, innovation and emerging technologies
• utility arboriculture and vegetation management
• climate resilience, biosecurity and urban development pressures
• engaging and educating clients, communities and decision-makers
• preparing our profession for the challenges facing tomorrow’s trees

Abstract submissions close: 31 October 2026
