Who is responsible for managing the business and affairs of ASET?

The ASET Council is responsible for managing the business and affairs of ASET. This governing body oversees the strategic direction and operational management of the organization, ensuring that it fulfills its mission and adheres to its regulatory obligations. The Council consists of elected members who are representative of the professional community, enabling it to make informed decisions in the best interests of its members and the public.

The inclusion of representatives from various sectors on the Council ensures that a diverse range of perspectives is considered in governance, contributing to effective decision-making and accountability. This structure also helps maintain the integrity and standards of the profession, as the Council works to implement policies and initiatives that support members and advance the profession.

Other roles mentioned, such as the Minister or public members, may be involved in an advisory capacity or through engagement with the public, but they do not directly manage the affairs of ASET. The President of ASET also plays an important leadership role, frequently acting as the public face of the organization, but the overall management and governance responsibilities lie with the ASET Council.
