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 brings together the former Spatial Information & Cartography, and Remote Sensing & Photogrammetry commissions of SSSI.
