Australia and New Zealand Branch
The Institute of Chartered Shipbroker's Australia and New
Zealand Branch was founded in 1998. The Branch promotes
professionalism in shipping through education both at company and
government level, and has around 100 members.
Geographically the Branch covers an area the size of Europe with
members of the Committee spread from Fremantle in the west to
Brisbane in the east and as far as Auckland in the south, though
the majority of members still reside in Melbourne and Sydney. The
membership are employed in a wide variety of commercial shipping
including competitive brokerage and as employees in shipping
company offices (liner and bulk), charterer's offices and
government departments.
In the education arena the Branch is a recognised Institute Teaching Centre
(ITC), which for some years has provided a steady stream of
students sitting exams in centres around Australia and New Zealand
including Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Brisbane and Auckland. The
challenges posed by the wide geographical cover is efficiently
handled by the ITC.
Besides structured Institute courses, the Branch has developed
and delivers bespoke short-courses/workshops on a variety of
chartering subjects, and also deliveres a series of successful
industry seminars on topical matters in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney
and Auckland.
On the social and networking front, the highlight of the social
calendar is the annual Industry Party held in Melbourne every
August, with members from all over Australia and New Zealand
attending. The Branch has also initiated the Young
Professionals Melbourne (YPM) group, designed to facilitate the
meeting of the young (under-35s) professionals in the maritime
industry.

Young Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers
For younger members, including students and perhaps for those
that are still young at heart (only if you can understand the
"modern speak"), there are several Young ICS members (YICS) located
in the major centres as a point of contact for social events and
collaboration in study where assistance may be sought.
