**The Australian Water Association (AWA) is the Governing Member for Australia for the International Water Association (IWA), referred to as IWA Australia or IWAA. **

The [IWAA Committee](https://www.awa.asn.au/AWA_MBRR/Our_members/Branches/IWAA/IWAA_Committee/AWA_MBRR/Branches/IWA/IWAA_Committee.aspx) assists the AWA in fulfilling its responsibilities as a Governing Member of IWA but importantly collaborates ongoingly with the broader IWA to deliver initiatives that provide Australian IWA & AWA members with membership value and a ‘finger on the pulse’ on water matters at a global scale.

Every two years a new committee is elected and with the 2021 election now complete, votes counted & validated we are ready to announce the new committee! We are most fortunate to welcome back a number of experienced IWAA committee members whilst also welcoming new committee members to continue to build on achievements over the years.
