Fellows and Honorary Fellows

About Fellowship

Fellowships are the highest level of recognition endowed upon individuals by the Geospatial Council of Australia.

The titles of Fellow or Honorary Fellow are awarded to individuals that have made a significant contribution to our peak body, and/or to the profession and are only approved following a rigorous nomination and assessment process.

You can find out more about eligibility criteria and the nomination process in our Fellowship Policy. To nominate a peer or colleague for fellowship, please download and complete the nomination form and email to ceo@geospatialcouncil.org.au.

Our Fellows

Fellows are nominated by their peers and renew their status each year as a financial member.

Our Areas of Practice are:

  • GDARS – GIS, Digital Analytics & Remote Sensing
  • Hydrography
  • Surveying.

GDARS brings together the former Spatial Information & Cartography, and Remote Sensing & Photogrammetry commissions of SSSI.
Surveying brings together members of the land, engineering & mining surveying commissions of SSSI.
Hydrography members were formerly the hydrography commission of SSSI.
