New Zealand Branch Chartered Professionals

The AusIMM Chartered Professional scheme is a system of accreditation aimed to clearly recognise the qualifications and experience of mining industry professionals and to enhance the employment and career prospects of AusIMM members. It also aims to provide optimum levels of protection for the community at large by offering high standards of professional integrity.

Historically, a list of AusIMM Chartered Professionals resident in New Zealand was held and maintained on this website and was updated annually by the NZ Branch Committee. This list will no longer be available here and new Consultants Directory has been developed on the central AusIMM website.

AusIMM is committed to evolve and innovate in this digital age, and in January 2021 announced a complete overhaul of the central website. This means all AusIMM Members need to re-create their online login and member profile which can be done using the following instructions How to Update Member Login and Profile.

A new, improved part of the website is the creation of a centralised Member Directory which recognises and improves visibility of our full membership, which is public facing. For privacy reasons, all members need to ‘opt in’ to this service on the new AusIMM Website, and the instructions on how to do so are contained in this link How to join our member directory to be recognised as an AusIMM member.

Within both the Consultants and the Member Directory, you can drill down your AusIMM Member search by Branch, Discipline and Member Grade. Additionally, within the Member Directory there is another tab ‘Consultancy’ where you can also drill down to find NZ CP’s. To find Chartered Professionals resident in New Zealand click on ‘Branch’ and select ‘New Zealand Branch’, then click on ‘Member Grade’ and select the options with ‘(CP)’ in their title.

If you need assistance, please email the NZ Branch Secretary at ausimmnz@gmail.com
