Professional Association for Materials Scientists and Engineers A membership based and not-for-profit industry association, Materials Australia's vision is to be the peak representative body, and trusted voice, of the materials science and engineering profession. We are dedicated to providing our members with a competitive advantage through access to industry, research, education, government, and the wider community.
