The MIA Board has appointed the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) as the Returning Officer for this year's elections. The MIA has previously used the AEC to hold its elections until they were able to hold their elections online.  In their recent newsletter they say:

"This MIA election will be returning to the postal vote system under the management of the AEC Returning Officer."

The MIA have provided the a schedule of events for this year's elections, which is outlined in the table below.

Why the 'United Profession' Ticket?

Migration Alliance has a membership of just over 4200 RMAs.  There are approximately 5200 RMAs in the profession.  Migration Alliance and the MIA therefore have a huge number of members in common.  We call these overlapping members.  

Migration Alliance proposes to promote and endorse joint MIA / MA members on a 'unity' ticket.  By this we would like to see a unified profession, where members of the MIA board, who are both MIA and MA members, find a way to bring the two organisations together, and to work collaboratively in the best interest of the whole profession.

We believe that this can be done by supporting joint MIA/MA members onto State President and committee positions and hence, onto the MIA national executive.  That way, we have representatives on the MIA board who can advocate and agitate for the profession as a whole.
