Committee resources

These resources for committee members provide information about operational policies, how we work together, and how to communicate effectively with members.

You need to be logged in as an AVA member to view these resources. To download a list of your group members, you need to be an authorised committee or staff member. You can access a list of group members through your committee workspace.

If you have any questions or problems relating to the committee resources page, contact the AVA on 1300 137 309 during business hours, or send us an email.
