How OAG Operations Assessments Benefit
Membership Organisations
Services, Data and Regional Growth
Members’ organisations represent the needs of their subscribers to Government in order to influence policy and funding. To attract manufacturing subscribers regionally and nationally, collective needs are identified, and services delivered to satisfy them. The data that supports the provision of services is collected via surveys, conferences and workshops.
