<br><P><B><I>Operation of the Roundtable</I></B></P>
<P>The aim of the Roundtable is to allow a selection of young professionals to actively focus on a particular theme, and develop material for their respective nominating bodies. Members of the Roundtable will enter into an annual program based on the chosen theme involving various small group activities, electronic discussions and teleconferences. </P>
<P>At the culmination of the annual process members will be invited to attend the annual ‘Young <B><I>Professions Australia</I></B> Roundtable’ convened as part of the Professions Australia, November CEO’s meeting in Canberra.</P>
<P><B><I>Structure for 2003</I></B></P>
<P>The nominated theme of 2003 is ‘Achieving a Sustainable Future’ and members will be challenged with the task of identifying each of the professions role in achieving a sustainable future and how that relates to the members of the professional bodies and the community.</P>
<P>The operations of the secretariat for the roundtable and coordination of content generated as part of the final report to Professions Australia for 2003 will be coordinated by team from the Natural Edge Project, an Australian non-profit sustainability research initiative developed by young professionals in collaboration with the peak bodies, universities, government and industry<A title="" href="#_ftn1" name=_ftnref1>[1]</A> and in partnership with Professions Australia.<SPAN> <BR><BR><B><I>Benefits of involvement</I></B></P>
<P>Young Professionals chosen to represent their professions on the Roundtable will be exposed to a wide range of experiences and perspectives representing the broad membership of Professions Australia. </P>
<P>Professions Australia sees the benefit of engaging young members to ensure the organisation remains at the forefront of<SPAN> the issues affecting the next generation of professionals in Australia.<B><I> </I></B></P>
<P><B><I>Nomination Process</I></B></P>
<P>Invitations will be made in March each year for a young professional to be nominated by each of the constituent bodies comprising Professions Australia. Further to this 2 young professionals from a particular member will be nominated to act as the coordinating secretariat and to co-chairs the Roundtable.</P>
<P><B><I>Nominations for Roundtable Secretariat for 2003</I></B></P>
<P>The founding secretariat is nominated as Charlie Hargroves and Nick Palousis of Young Engineers Australia acting as co-chairs of the Roundtable for 2003. </P>

<P><BR><STRONG>Young Professions Australia Roundtable 23<SUP> </SUP>– 24 November 2003</STRONG></P>
<P><U>
<P></U>Present:<SPAN> Charlie Hargroves, Brigette Hall, Nicky Brennan, Kate West, Nina Quinn, Ana Govan, Michael Smith</P>
<P></P>
<P>Apologies:<SPAN> Luke Fraser, Nick Palousis, Philippa Thomson</P>Higher education and sustainability - Kate
<P>Sustainability will grow through awareness, and education is paramount to increasing this awareness.<SPAN> Subsequently education regarding sustainability is a fundamental first step. This involves education at all levels, primary through to tertiary, and also as part of our ongoing professional development.</P>
<P>In order to promote sustainability through education, we recommend Professions Australia coordinate a discussion group for representatives from the professional bodies who are investigating and developing sustainability education material. This network can be utilised for the development of generic entry level modules on sustainability, whilst acting as a support network to encourage the individual professional bodies to develop discipline specific sustainability materials.</P>
<P>To ensure that sustainability is being taught appropriately, we recommend that the relevant professional bodies’ university accreditation processes includes sustainability criteria.</P>
<P>The role of Research and Development in achieving a sustainable future is also recognised. A position statement from Professions Australia highlighting their support for the role of research and development and appropriate collaboration is recommended.</P>
<P>Each profession represented at the Young Professions Australia Roundtable has discipline specific actions that will be taken back to their relevant professional body for action.</P>Continuing Professional Development for Sustainability
<P>As Ambassadors for professions we have a responsibility to ensure high quality professionalism is sustained through accessible life long learning and knowledge transfer structures.<SPAN> Professions Australia can promote integrated approaches to ongoing competency within a regulated framework and in doing so assist in the retention of membership of the individual professional bodies.<SPAN> </P>
<P>Professions Australia currently provides the structure that can facilitate a discussion group to formulate and feed into other groups to create consistent accredited modules for CPD programs on sustainability or ensure existing modules contain sustainability elements which follow on from those that are developed for inclusion in undergraduate programs. It also provides a conduit for professions to share the best ways to transfer knowledge between streams within their own professions and between those about to graduate and those needing to complete mandatory supervisory times.</P>Professions and Public Policy related to Sustainability - Brigette <BR><BR>Many issues are common to each of the professions.<SPAN> Sustainability requires a collaborative and holistic approach to the way professions conduct their business.<SPAN> No longer can professions work in isolation within their specific disciplines. In the encouragement and facilitation of collaboration between the professions, it is recommended that Professions Australia approach its members individually when common issues arise and involve them in the public policy process.<SPAN> Joint submissions on inquiries and issues made by Professions Australia listing itself and its member contributions shows a united front and provide a stronger lobbying force.<SPAN> <BR><BR>Young Professionals and Sustainability - Nina
<P><I></I></P>
<P>Young Professions Australia acknowledges and thanks Professions Australia for their support and encouragement of our roundtable. We recommend that Young Professions Australia Roundtable continues as the opportunity we have had for information sharing and subsequent identification of actions will provide deliverable outcomes for each professional body represented and Professions Australia overall.</P>
<P>Our final papers will be submitted to Professions Australia and we will continue as a working group to bring our actions to fruition.</P>
<P>Additionally, we would like to increase representation on Young Professions Australia Roundtable and will target new professions to be part of this group in the future.</P>
<P>We would also like to assist in increasing membership per se and participation of young members in each professional body.<SPAN> A list of suggestions/tips will be provided to Professions Australia as a tool its members may use to increase young member involvement in their specific professional bodies.</P>Integrated Approaches to Sustainability - Nicky
<P>Integrated approach to lobby government, unified and consistent messages to policy makers.</P>
<P>We recognize that Professions Australia already promotes integration and communication between the professions by its very existence.<SPAN> We recommend that Professions Australia encourage additional professions to participate and in do doing facilitate greater intercommunication among professions in Australia and beyond.<SPAN> We recommend that Professions Australia prioritize sustainability and its sub-topics as a regular agenda item and discussion area.<SPAN> We also recommend that Professions Australia develop a greater level of linkage amongst professions and associated professional bodies through its website, by becoming a holistic centre of information and contact.<SPAN> One outcome of the Young Professions Roundtable is to contribute content and links for the development of the website.<BR><BR><BR><BR></P><BR><BR><BR><BR></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>
