GEA Membership Prospectus 2012

Becoming a member of GEA produces opportunities to be part of a proactive and innovative network that promotes capability and capacity of suppliers to major industry in the Gladstone region.

GEA Membership

GEA Membership fees are based on employee numbers for your chosen branch or in the case you do not have a branch, your Head Office.

For Example:

Joe’s Engineering Shop has 6 people who work in their Gladstone Office, Joe would join as Cat 2 (4 – 15 employees). However if Joe wanted his Rockhampton office who has 6 employees to receive GEA benefits he would have to join as a Cat 3 and if Joe wanted Brisbane to receive the information he would have to join Cat 4.

GEA membership fees have been pro-rated in alignment to the financial year. Due to this move, the next membership year will be 10 months from September 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012.

Memberships for September 2011 to June 2012 are based on two 5 month terms, with prices half price from February 2012.
