The QAA have recently signed memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the above organisations. We are very happy to be working to build international and national bridges within the industry and to have the opportunity to share industry information.

Through the support of our members, the QAA can continue to develop and provide additional benefits to our members and our industry. The QAA applies for grants on behalf of the tree industry to government bodies for support with health and safety, training, education, research, and development for the arboricultural industry. As QAA is a not for profit association and has limited resources this still remains a priority to further a growth industry within the state of Queensland.

Nevertheless, the QAA is committed to our industry and constantly strives to make it better by improving the value of QAA membership and maintaining the tree amenity and beauty of Queensland.

The QAA is the largest state based Arboricultural Association in Australia and we actively encourage all those that care about trees and the tree industry to join us in making the industry better and stronger for the benefit of all.
