The resource industry remains Australia’s fastest growing source of jobs, recording 25% annual employment growth. According to ABS data, there are now more than 270,000 Australians working directly in mining, oil and gas. Taking into account downstream employment, about 600,000 Australians now earn their living from resource activity.

Despite our industry’s many achievements, 2012 has also seen a range of challenges within the political and regulatory environments in which we operate.

Commentary that investment growth in Australian resource projects will slow in the medium-term appears to have guided political and public discourse towards a new awareness that our industry indeed operates in a global contest for capital. Even so, there is currently total capital expenditure of $500 billion in resource projects either committed or awaiting approval. The challenge is to ensure we have an environment in which proposals become projects.

Recent events have shown Australia’s legislative and regulatory base is currently not conducive to long-term business growth. Many of our country’s business leaders have raised serious concerns about the cost position of the Australian resource industry and moving forward, that remains our biggest challenge.

As Australia’s competitors close the gap on our technical capabilities, we require a greater competitive edge. Now is the time for industry and government to develop the regulatory environment and economic strategies that will see our resource industry realise its true potential.

Aside from the obvious taxation and environmental matters, the ongoing reform agenda must include industrial relations, skilled migration, workforce development, skills capacity building and labour mobility.

Employment growth in the resource industry has been recorded at double the rate predicted by the National Resources Sector Employment Taskforce and demand for skilled workers far outstrips supply in a number of industry sub-sectors.

If the skills challenges of the resource industry can be addressed, there will be hope that we can translate policy outcomes into arrangements that encourage, not discourage investment and employment growth.

Recently, AMMA has expanded and evolved to meet the great opportunities and the heightened challenges within Australia’s resource industry.

Different stakeholders and sections of the community will always have varying opinions on how Australia should manage our industry. Regardless, the resource industry must continue to work with key government policy-makers so we can remain a key driver of Australia’s economic wealth and employment prospects.

The important steps AMMA is taking now will ensure this is realised well into the future. Your ongoing membership and support allows AMMA to continue this role and represent our industry’s interests at the highest level.

iAN SMiTh – pRESiDENT’S NOTE

AMMA takes great pride in having represented the Australian resource industry for more than 90 years. As 2012 comes to a close, it is evident our industry continues to play an important role in our national well-being.

Ian Smith, President

greaterCOMpETiTivE ED

GE

“ in recent times AMMA has expanded and evolved in line with the great opportunities and the heightened challenges within Australia’s resource industry. ”

Nonetheless, the numbers still indicate our industry’s great potential in this period, both in economic and employment terms, is far from realised.

The latest ABS labour force figures show an additional 53,000 more Australian workers are employed in resources jobs than this time last year. Similarly, our research has upgraded the total value of resource and related infrastructure investment either committed or proposed for our nation to more than $680 billion.

So while we possibly have moved past the peak in commodity prices, AMMA has certainly not experienced any slowdown in member demand for our expanding range of workforce services.

To meet this demand and consolidate the association’s expansion during recent years, 2012 has seen a significant shift in AMMA’s organisational structure into two primary divisions: Industry Services and Consulting Services.

Our Industry Services Division now covers our policy, media and public affairs, member services, events and special projects activity. This division has experienced great diversification over the past 12 months, in both our representative position through government relations and lobbying, as well as our expanded workforce development initiatives.

The growth of this division is evident in the many new members AMMA has secured throughout 2012, increasing our industry penetration and breadth across the various sub-sectors.

Our policy team has had a very active year with important industry research and AMMA submissions made on workplace relations, migration, labour mobility, taxation and superannuation – to name just a few areas.

The last 12 months has seen AMMA elevate the workforce challenges faced by our members to a new level on the policy agenda and display leadership in moving these discussions forward in a productive way.

Challenging the application of workplace policy at the highest level has been particularly important throughout 2012, with several interpretations of the IR framework deemed by AMMA to be not in our members’ interest, nor how the Federal Government intended it should operate.

The most significant development was the Fair Work Act Review process which, at time of writing, is still ongoing at industry consultation level. AMMA’s submission was among the most comprehensive of all employer groups.

ChiEf EXECUTivE’S REpORT

To use an old cliché, it’s been a rollercoaster year for the Australian resource industry. The first half of 2012 featured record export volumes and continued investment; a sharp contrast to the falling commodity prices and project deferrals seen in the latter period.

Steve Knott AMMA Chief Executive

“ To meet heightened demand and consolidate our expansion during recent years, 2012 has seen a significant shift in AMMA’s organisational structure into two primary divisions. ”


While it looks likely that some of our specific recommendations could be adopted, at this stage it would appear the opportunity for significant reform is lost amid the political discourse. AMMA’s leadership in this space is integral to the well-being of our members, as we continue to lobby for reforms that would address the escalating pressures and costs of employing people.

Migration was another major area of both policy development and public lobbying for AMMA in 2012, particularly with the industry’s first EMA approved in May. In the face of the unions’ public fear mongering and divisive campaigns, AMMA became the assertive voice for the benefits of skilled migration programs and EMAs – policy that promotes our national well-being.

AMMA’s public affairs team has also worked hard in 2012 to bring attention to the great initiatives and benefits employers in our sector deliver to Australia. Our new magazine Resource People is just one of many important communication tools in this process.

Many of AMMA’s workforce development initiatives that were launched in late 2011 experienced considerable growth and success throughout 2012. AMMA miningoilandgasjobs.com has been a standout, with employers and jobseekers benefiting from this non-commercial industry service.

This website is important to fostering sustainable employment in Australian resources by providing candidates with sufficient information to plan long-term industry careers.

Attracting and retaining more women workers in the industry is another key objective of AMMA as we continue rolling out the Australian Women in Resources Alliance (AWRA) project. AWRA continued to break new ground in these efforts during 2012, as our Way Forward guides, E-mentoring program and education campaigns begin to make waves within our membership base.

Some new initiatives that will be launched in coming months include AMMA Skills Connect, which will directly link our members to qualified and job-ready candidates, and the AMMA Pit Crew Labour Index.

In line with this wider representation, our calendar of major conferences and industry events were greatly expanded during 2012 and will continue in 2013. While these initiatives demonstrate AMMA’s evolution in recent times, the demand for our traditional areas of expertise also greatly increased throughout 2012.

AMMA’s Consulting Services Division now comprises our expanded team of workplace relations consultants, alongside a dedicated arm for Legal and Migration Services businesses.

For the first time in AMMA’s 94-year history, we are now able to deliver a true end-to-end consulting service to our members.

This capability has been widely utilised by all categories and sectors of AMMA members during 2012, ranging from the multi-billion dollar oil and gas projects in Western Australia and Queensland, to the delivery of specialist advice to our junior explorers and contractors.

While our consultants are placed within resource projects and operations across the country, our new dedicated legal team has represented individual members in a wide range of legal matters.

This new capacity has been widely utilised and presents a great opportunity for further growth and member benefits.

With our industry’s insatiable demand for highly skilled workers continuing to be a priority issue for our members, AMMA Migration has been greatly assisting employers to meet their short-term requirements.

AMMA is now recognised as the leading source of expertise for migration in the resource industry, whether it is 457 Visa processing, advice on the Enterprise Migration Agreement (EMA) framework or general advice about sourcing skilled workers from overseas.

Our Training and Development business has also been very active throughout 2012; delivering a range of Nationally Recognised Training and resource industry-specific courses to many of our member companies.

Through our ongoing partnership with the government’s Critical Skills Investment Fund, we have provided this support and training to all membership categories, with top priorities being leadership capability and best practice HR management techniques.

Over the past decade, the resource industry has been responsible for the greatest creation and transfer of wealth and skills in Australia’s history. It is AMMA’s role as your national employer group to allow our members to continue this great path.

The biggest challenge for our industry is to secure the arms and legs required to build and operate the new resource projects slated for our shores.

AMMA’s continued growth and diversification has occurred on the premise that, whether it is workplace relations, migration, taxation, OHS or any other workforce issue – our purpose is to assist in making Australia a better place to invest and work.

No doubt we will begin 2013 with a more uncertain economic environment than 12 months ago, but our dedication to achieving this purpose remains stronger than ever.

Our activities over the past 12 months have focused on facilitating short and medium-term solutions for periods of peak labour demand; and a range of workforce development strategies to secure long-term Australian jobs for decades to come.

On behalf of our Board of Directors and AMMA staff, I extend my sincere thanks to all for your support throughout 2012 and going forward.

Steve Knott AMMA Chief Executive

AMMA TEAM


POLICYThroughout 2012, AMMA has continued to build on its strong capability for extensive policy research and development on all workplace relations issues and wider workforce matters.

By constantly improving the processes by which we obtain and present the relevant information from our membership base, AMMA’s effectiveness in the policy arena is a major driving force behind our reputation as one of the most proactive and dynamic industry employer groups in Australia.

In 2012, AMMA lodged a greater number of policy submissions, presented to more federal inquiries and conducted more member surveys than any other period in our 94-year history.

Policy has also continued to build on AMMA’s reputation as a source of knowledge and research expertise in Australia’s resource industry. The policy team is currently overseeing two research projects, the ‘AMMA Workplace Relations Research Project’ and ‘The costs and benefits of 457 visa working arrangements’.

Our policy development activities are constantly evolving in line with the shifting political and legislative environments, with workplace relations, superannuation, safety, training, skills, workplace taxation issues and skilled migration all on the agenda over the past 12 months.

Such activity enables us to represent the interests of our members to governments in a cohesive and bipartisan manner, ultimately working towards stronger workforce outcomes for the wider resource industry.

AMMA’s policy activity has benefited from the new divisional structure, with additional resources, new team members and closer interaction with other functional areas such as media and government relations creating great efficiencies and effectiveness.

“ AMMA’s industry Services Division has developed new workforce initiatives, streamlined its policy development and lobbying and ramped up all its activities during 2012. ”

AMMA WOrkPLACe reLATIOns reseArCh PrOjeCTThe third year of the AMMA Workplace Relations Research Project has been the most significant in the short history of this survey-based analysis, with 2012 activities producing two report papers.

The past 12 months has seen the industrial relations debate elevated to the forefront of political discourse, as the full impacts of the Fair Work Act 2009 began to be felt by employers across all business sectors.

This research project, performed in partnership with RMIT University, has been a key body of evidence in documenting the ongoing adverse impacts that the Fair Work Act has had on Australian resource employers. The six-monthly member surveys provide invaluable information to AMMA’s policy development and reinforce our submissions to government with irrefutable industry evidence.

The fifth report in this project, for the period ending April 2012, underpinned AMMA’s submission to the Fair Work Act Review Panel. The report confirmed a rising incidence of conflict in Australian workplaces with the number of resource employers who rated their industrial environment as unacceptable increasing fivefold in just two years.

This research project will continue to analyse the long-term impacts of the Fair Work Act on our members. Electronic versions of the six-monthly report papers are available on the AMMA website.

FAIr WOrk ACT revIeWThis year, the Federal Government conducted a two-yearly review into the operation of its workplace relations legislation, the Fair Work Act 2009.

Representing its members, AMMA lodged a comprehensive 178-page submission to the Fair Work Act Review Panel, making 54 recommendations for changes to the current workplace relations framework.

AMMA was also the first organisation to be invited for further discussions with the panel, in which we elaborated on key written recommendations.

Underpinned by the AMMA Workplace Relations Research Project and building on AMMA’s 2008 submission to the Senate inquiry into the Fair Work Bill, AMMA highlighted that resource industry employers were experiencing complex and numerous problems with the current IR system.

Examples included reforms to:

• Break the union monopoly over greenfield (start-up) agreement making, particularly where a reasonable agreement could not be reached with a union within a reasonable timeframe;

• Make protected industrial action a last resort and not able to be taken where union claims are exorbitant and bargaining has not yet been exhausted;

• Allow bargaining and ensuing protected industrial action, in the absence of agreement by the employer, to only occur where a majority of employees support such action; and

• Ensure a minimum mandated level of flexibility is provided by flexibility clauses in enterprise agreements.

Like all of AMMA’s submissions and research papers, our submission to the Fair Work Act Review Panel can be found on the AMMA website.

At time of writing, the Workplace Relations Minister was continuing to consult key stakeholders, including AMMA, before delivering the government’s final outcomes from the Fair Work Act review process. However, preliminary recommendations by the Review Panel indicate that employers will likely receive some positive and some negative outcomes from the process.

In response to a contentious Fair Work Australia ruling, the Review Panel adopted AMMA’s specific recommendations around union representation (arising from the Technip case) and protected action ballot orders (arising from the JJ Richards case).

Industry study finds poor IR framework Research to be released today by the Australian Mines and Metals Association has found a significant deterioration in the nation’s workplace relations climate, with an almost fivefold increase in the number of mining employers who consider that the industrial environment is unacceptable.

The Australian 02/07/2012

Union wars hurt projects: miners “With billions of dollars worth of projects in the pipeline, it is imperative the Fair Work review considers how we might minimise the bickering and turf wars that regularly take place between unions,” AMMA’s Minna Knight said in submission to the federal government’s review of the Fair Work Act.

Australian Financial Review 13/01/2012


However, some of the panel’s recommendations could provide further challenges for AMMA members. AMMA policy team will continue to lobby for effective reform in these areas well into 2013.

AMMA would like to thank AMMA members, our Special Interest Groups and Board Reference Group who contributed to our recommendations to the Fair Work Act Review and the ongoing RMIT University research project that has provided crucial supporting evidence to our activities.

The COsTs AnD beneFITs OF 457 vIsA WOrkIng ArrAngeMenTsThe use of skilled migration on resource projects was hotly debated throughout 2012 and, to support our members’ needs in this area, AMMA jointly funded a groundbreaking research project into the benefits of migrant workers to Australia’s resource industry.

The study titled 457 Visa Workers in the WA Resource Industry: The benefits and costs for business, migrant families, and the community is a joint initiative between AMMA and the Edith Cowan University (ECU) School of Management.

Overseen by ECU researcher Dr Susanne Bahn, the industry-first study has shown that temporary migrant workers play an essential role in filling highly skilled vacancies that cannot be filled domestically in the short term.

Dr Bahn presented interim findings at AMMA’s 2012 Migration Conference in Perth, which show highly-specialised overseas workers are utilised as a short-term solution to ensure resource projects move through construction and into the operational phase.

The research arising from this project has proven an invaluable tool for dispelling divisive arguments from trade unions and other vested interests that AMMA members should be restricted in their access to overseas labour. In addition, the project provides important evidence to inform the labour mobility debate, with findings showing some retrenched workers from other parts of Australia are reluctant to relocate to Western Australia for a range of reasons, including lifestyle preferences.

Ohs hArMOnIsATIOnThe process of nationally harmonising Australia’s work health and safety laws has continued to be an area of importance for AMMA members over the past 12 months. AMMA has undertaken various activities throughout the year to ensure our members are well prepared for these changes to the legislative environment.

During 2012, AMMA Policy consistently provided advice and clarity to our members as to what these changes mean for their workplaces. This information process has occurred through regular member briefings, conferences and AMMA’s Health & Safety Environment Advisory Group as well as via regular internal member communications.

Our policy team will continue to update members on any important changes in this area and will continue to lobby state and federal governments for legislation that will make this transition easier.

MeMber surveYsIn addition to the AMMA Workplace Relations Research Project, throughout 2012 the Policy team continued to conduct regular member surveys on important workplace issues. This helps to ensure AMMA’s policy and lobbying activities continue to reflect members’ views. The surveys are also a valuable means of sharing information among AMMA’s membership in key areas. This year, AMMA conducted surveys of its members on issues including:

• Superannuation;

• The impacts of changes to the taxing of the living away from home allowance; and

• Workplace bullying.

• Pay rises awarded under Fair Work Act agreements

• Proposed changes to building industry laws and

• Proposed changes to Australia’s skilled migration legislation.

MeDIA & exTernAL AFFAIrs

MeDIA AnD PubLIC AFFAIrsThrough an active media and public affairs team, AMMA provides an assertive industry voice for effective policy outcomes. 2012 has been exciting and industrious, as we effectively communicated key industry messages through the media – an important factor in influencing legislative outcomes at all levels of government.

As the Australian resource industry continues its unprecedented advancement at an economic and societal level, some segments of the community such as the trade union movement have ramped up their attacks on our industry and engaged in divisive and misleading commentary.

On behalf of our members, it is the role of AMMA’s public affairs team to offset such negative commentary by reinforcing the widespread benefits the industry provides to Australia’s national well-being; as well as dispel much of the misinformation being disseminated in public forums.

Major campaign activity throughout 2012 has included:

Workplace relations reformWith the Federal Government announcing it would conduct a review into the Fair Work Act 2009 early in the year, there has been an ongoing focus in AMMA’s public commentary about the impacts of the workplace relations framework on Australian resource employers.

Using the AMMA Workplace Relations Research Project, key Fair Work Australia rulings and other feedback from members as evidence, AMMA built on its public reputation as the workplace relations experts within the wider Australian resource industry.

An integral role in this debate has been highlighting major positions within AMMA’s policy submissions and crafting key narratives around our push for legislative reform. AMMA’s media and public affairs team has proven highly effective throughout 2012 at using the experiences of our members and technical policy positions, to deliver media-friendly, powerful and succinct messages that have strongly resonated with the general public.

Skilled migrationThe resource industry’s use of skilled migration programs to ease key labour shortages has come under intense scrutiny throughout 2012, with a number of legislative amendments also proposed in this area. A driving force for this has been widespread commentary about skills shortages and growing frustrations within some community groups around employment matters.

The approval of the industry’s first Enterprise Migration Agreement (EMA) in May was a major political event of 2012 and AMMA played a vital role in backing the industry’s use of such programs to advance major projects. AMMA Chief Executive Steve Knott

featured on a wide variety of television programs, radio broadcasts and print media to articulate that programs such as EMAs are vital to ensuring projects of national significance secure the necessary funding and are delivered on time and on budget.

Media & Public Affairs established AMMA as the leading voice for the industry and the benefits of skilled migration. It is important for our members and the national well-being that we continue to dispel the myths and reinforce the benefits of our industry’s use of migration.

Skills and workforce planningAs other areas of AMMA ramped up its industry initiatives to address complex workforce challenges in Australia’s resource industry, Media & Public Affairs has made a concerted effort in 2012 to broaden AMMA’s public campaigning from specific workplace relation and HR challenges into wider discussion around skills development and workforce planning.

This is an ongoing and wide campaign that incorporates AMMA’s media messaging in workplace relations and skilled migration with all people issues including superannuation, HR, training, labour mobility, OHS, taxation and so on.

This campaign has proven highly effective in encouraging a ‘bigger picture’ outlook in many public media forums. Our media and public affairs team utilises industry information, policy research and economic data to back all our messages with core business and community outcomes.

Industry rejects tougher rules on enterprise migration“The existing parameters of the EMA program already ensure skilled migrants are only used for temporary positions to get projects built on time and on budget. The Greens bill not only ignores these important facts, but instead seeks to add further regulatory burdens to employers who are seeking access to skilled labour markets,” AMMA executive director Minna Knight said.


MEDIA IN NUMBERS (to October 2012):

Industrial actionA major element in AMMA’s goal to redirect focus on wider workforce matters and barriers to business growth in Australia has been our media campaigns around industrial action. Throughout 2012 and particularly in the latter half of the year, Australia has seen a dramatic increase in industrial activity that has widespread economic implications.

While our campaigning for workplace relations reform has focused on specific legislative amendments and the Fair Work Review, AMMA’s wider commentary on industrial action highlights the impacts such activity is having on Australia’s attractiveness as a destination for investment and business.

During instances of damaging industrial activity in 2012, AMMA’s media and public affairs activities have successfully shifted focus towards the broader implications for employers and the national well-being. This proven strategy will continue into the future.

gOvernMenT reLATIOnsOne of the key and often understated benefits of membership within a national employer group, is the ability to become heavily involved with policy debate at all levels of government without infringing on any individual company.

Through AMMA’s 2012 government relations activity, we have not only sustained our presence at the forefront of policy discussions, but elevated our industry representation to a higher level of economic and community debate. While AMMA’s correspondence with the Federal Minister and Shadow Minister for Workplace Relations remains as significant as ever, we have engaged more heavily with the federal departments for resources and energy; skills; immigration and citizenship; taxation; superannuation; and special minister for state.

While AMMA’s government relations ‘behind the scenes’ continues to influence policy makers and reinforce our public positions, in 2012 we have also continued to secure many of Australia’s decision makers to directly address members at AMMA events. In addition to our activity at a federal level, AMMA has built on our relationships with both new and existing state governments to broaden our reach and increase our representative depth.

This allows AMMA members to be active participants in decisions that influence our regulatory and operating environments.

MeMber COMMunICATIOnsCommunicating key developments in legislation, policy, case law, AMMA activities and general movement in the marketplace remains a core benefit to our members.

The fortnightly AMMA Bulletin continues to be a highly popular service in which our policy and communication experts distribute the most relevant news and information across our core areas of expertise. In 2012, the AMMA Bulletin was re-designed with new formatting and aesthetic elements to improve the user interaction. Complementing our fortnightly bulletin are our member circulars that deliver urgent breaking news and policy updates in a timely manner.

Spike in working days lost raises unrest fearsSteve Knott, the chief executive of the Australian Mines and Metals Association, said industrial unrest had become steadily worse under the Labor Government’s Fair Work Act, which had already watered down the power of the ABCC.

iConnect projectIn one of our largest investments in state-of-the-art communications technology, early 2012 saw the official launch of the AMMA iConnect Project. This IT, content management system, database and communications project was initiated in response to member feedback and the scope was completed in quarter three of 2012.

The project represented a significant investment with the purpose of achieving greater efficiency and effectiveness of member services and communications.

The development of these areas is ongoing with enhancements to ensure members’ access to important industry announcements, notices and information is provided in a targeted and efficient manner.

Resource People magazineIn May 2012, AMMA launched the first edition of its high-gloss, 56-page magazine Resource People. With the human element of our dynamic and diverse industry often shadowed by the technical feats and economics, Resource People focuses on the human side of Australian resources - from the boardrooms of our member companies to the most remote worksites in the country.

While exploring many of the challenges and opportunities for our members, this magazine is about celebrating the true achievements of our national resource industry and highlighting the good news stories and significant contributions made by resource employers every day.

Delivered to 5000 contacts within AMMA’s membership base, every quarter Resource People profiles our industry’s leaders, explores pressing workforce issues and provides in-depth case studies with middle management.

Among the diversity of stories, talent and subjects contained in Resource People are important updates and features on policy, political and legislative matters. More importantly however, this magazine is an effective communication tool for sharing information and promoting the strong collaborative culture within our industry.

Two editions of Resource People were published in 2012, with the third edition to be distributed to members in January 2013.

MeMber servICesAMMA Member Services has continued its remarkable growth and diversification in 2012, with greater member penetration in the national resource industry, great advancement of existing services and the development of valuable new workforce tools.

reTenTIOn AnD grOWThWith growth in the resource industry and major projects coming online throughout the year, AMMA has seen an increase in membership revenue of 13% in 2012, with new members joining through each quarter of 2012.

We consider this increase in membership solid, given the additional economic and legislative pressures placed on employers in the resource industry. AMMA allows for a level of natural turnover in its membership, particularly in the lower categories where sub-contractors gain/lose contracts on projects and membership to the peak industry body becomes more/less relevant.

It is very promising however, that AMMA has retained the vast majority of its new members attained through heightened activity in our industry. Given AMMA comprises the largest number, coverage and diversity of any resources employer group in Australia, we are satisfied that our current levels of growth are highly sustainable and validate our increased services and benefits.

Each new member enhances AMMA’s capacity to unite the national resource industry and AMMA’s membership growth is occurring across all the various sub-sectors, including mining, hydrocarbons, maritime, drilling, construction, and allied services.

Throughout the year, AMMA’s extended suite of services has consistently provided our members with value, innovation, support, services and most importantly, industry leadership - one voice, driving effective workplace outcomes.

AMMA AssOCIATe MeMbershIPThe AMMA Associate Membership Program continued to deliver connections to key industry supplier companies in its fourth year of operation.

Associate Members are passionate and engaged organisations which have key products and services directly related to the workforce requirements of the Australian resource industry.

Throughout 2012, AMMA members enjoyed the introduction to Associate Members with formation of integral business relationships.

The growth in Associate Membership reflects the high level of growth in AMMA Membership as more supply companies recognise the benefits of being associated with AMMA and the significant workforce areas we represent.

COnFerenCes, evenTs AnD InDusTrY FOruMsAMMA has continued in 2012 to build on its ever-growing range of major conferences, member and industry forums, Special Interest Group (SIG) meetings and other events hosted across the nation.

These events provide valuable opportunities for members to network, share vital information, and keep abreast of the latest developments and issues pertinent to resource industry employers. Many events have also connected AMMA members with beneficial third-party business contacts.

May 2012 saw AMMA’s largest ever National Conference take place in Perth, drawing more than 500 delegates from mining, oil and gas, construction, transport, maritime and allied services. The event attracted a record number of delegates who engaged with a number of high profile keynote speakers from industry and government; while enjoying an array of networking events, break-out sessions and workshops.

The AMMA 2012 National Conference event also drew a large number of exhibitors for B2B networking as well as those who participated in the inaugural AMMA miningoilandgasjobs.com Careers Expo. The latter attracted more than 14,000 public candidates seeking employment in the resource industry and further demonstrates AMMA’s commitment to facilitating our members’ direct access to labour markets.

AMMA one-day conferences, designed to provide members with practical insights and tools for use in their organisations, have continued to expand in the past year seeing the delivery of the HR-centric Fresh Thinking Series; the expansion of AMMA’s annual Migration and Labour Sourcing Conference to now include the east and west coasts; and the development of the upcoming AWRA and Training and Development Conferences for 2013 and beyond.

AMMA’s West Coast Conference in October remained the most highly attended outside the National event in May.

AMMA wishes to thank conference sponsors and exhibitors for their ongoing support of the these events and looks forward to seeing members at the 2013 AMMA National Conference, to be held in Melbourne in May 2013, once again alongside the AMMA miningoilandgasjobs.com Expo.

AMMA MInIngOILAnDgAsjObs.COMOnline careers centre and information portal AMMA miningoilandgasjobs.com continues to substantially alter the landscape of recruitment in the resource industry, following its official launch in November 2011.

As an alternative to commercial recruitment websites, resource organisations use AMMA miningoilandgasjobs.com to connect directly with qualified candidates with the knowledge that their expenditure flows back through AMMA’s work to promote wider workforce development.

Boasting world-leading software and mobile-accessible platforms, AMMA miningoilandgasjobs.com removes agencies and third parties from the recruitment process to deliver an authentic service to both jobseekers and employers.

The site’s Careers and Industry Guide is an invaluable tool for domestic and overseas jobseekers on transitioning into the sector. Containing information on jobs, lifestyle, career planning, migration and training and development, the breadth of coverage was furthered in August 2012 with the new Construction section.

The position of this initiative as a trusted authority on employment and career planning was evident at the AMMA miningoilandgasjobs.com exhibition held in May. This Perth-based event was attended by more than 10,000 jobseekers and will be replicated in 2013.

Also in 2012, the site earned Federal Government endorsement with the government’s own Resources Sector Jobs Board depending on AMMA miningoilandgasjobs.com’s powerful search engine and frequently updated listings to drive its search capabilities.

By proving real jobs by real employers to the jobseeking public, AMMA miningoilandgasjobs.com demonstrates our commitment to finding real solutions to the industry’s labour-sourcing challenges. AMMA will continue this great momentum in 2013.

AusTrALIAn WOMen In resOurCes ALLIAnCe (AWrA)Following the establishment of the Australian Women in Resources Alliance (AWRA) in late 2011, AMMA has this year moved the initiative forward in leaps and bounds.

AWRA is delivered by AMMA in partnership with the Federal Government’s Critical Skills Investment Fund and draws on the support of a number of employer groups, key member companies and other stakeholders across the resource, construction and allied industries.


The primary objective of this initiative is to increase women’s participation in these industries to 25% by 2020, with the first major awareness tool in ‘The Way Forward’ paper being released on March 8, 2012. Coinciding with International Women’s Day, this move gathered media interest and further momentum for the initiative.

The AWRA Reference Group has continued to drive this project throughout 2012 and comprises the following members:

• Australian Mines & Metals Association (AMMA);

• Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM);

• Chamber of Minerals and Energy (CME);

• Consult Australia;

• Minerals Council of Australia (MCA);

• National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC);

• Queensland Resources Council (QRC);

• Resources and Engineering Skills Alliance (RESA);

• Women in Mining Network (WIMNet); and

• Additional representatives from the resources, related construction and allied industries.

The Reference Group is leading four working groups comprised of other key industry stakeholders to collaboratively develop solutions to the barriers impeding women’s participation under the headings of attraction, retention and organisational culture.

These groups have all commenced activities in 2012 and a research and development group has been assisting their activities. AMMA has also signed on a number of senior executives to complement the work of AWRA, provide oversight of the initiative and promote awareness and support.

A number of key activities were commenced in 2012 and continue to deliver the objectives of the AWRA project and promote best practice, cultural awareness and industry change.

AWRA is also developing its extensive ‘Baseline Report’ to provide situational analysis of the current issues facing women in the sector. The report also provides a point of reference against which the impact of the AWRA project and progress towards AWRA goals can be measured throughout the duration of the project.

AWRA is unique in having established a coordinated, national, unified voice on gender diversity best practice for the resource industry. We look forward to furthering this initiative throughout 2013.

AMMA skILLs COnneCTAMMA is committed to assisting members in the complex area of access to skilled labour and workforce planning. We have been working with members on pilot programs in the development of AMMA Skills Connect.

This initiative is the consolidation of services across a wide range of labour sourcing and workforce capability elements.

Through AMMA Skills Connect, we bring together Australia’s peak industry bodies and pre-eminent organisations in workforce-related fields to provide members a single point of service delivery. These bodies include Master Plumbers Association, Civil Contractors Federation, National Electrical Contractors, Institute of Welding, Engineering and Technology, Industrial Foundation of Accident Prevention and Vetassess.

The AMMA Skills Connect scope encompasses services related to members’ workforce needs. It provides a single point of access to services across multiple skills, trade and qualification areas.

AMMA Skills Connect will launch to members in the last quarter of 2012.

The wayforward


AMMA PIT CreW LAbOur InDexIn 2012, AMMA announced an upcoming new labour forecasting member service is in development – the AMMA Pit Crew Labour Index.

In partnership with the country’s leading firm for major project demand analysis, Pit Crew Management Consulting, this tool will be invaluable for our industry and those outside the industry to come to understand the true magnitude of labour demand and skills shortages within our industry.

The data that will be publicly available in this index includes:

• The number of major projects by state;

• Capital value by state for approved and unapproved projects;

• Construction labour demand by state as a percentage of demand versus availability, including a table of supporting figures and total demand as a number; and

• Operational labour demand to be included as a whole figure, by state.

This initiative is an innovative new way in which we are serving our members interests – both in the public and private domain. Pit Crew’s presentations at AMMA events throughout 2012 have been widely commended by attendees, and we expect this formal service to be ready for members’ use in early 2013.

The YeAr AheADHaving developed new workforce initiatives, streamlined its organisational structure and ramped up its activities in 2012, AMMA’s Industry Services Division will now focus on consolidating its additional resources and evolving position in the national resource industry.

This process will focus attention on gaining maximum effectiveness from each of our functional areas in policy, media and external affairs and member services.

On the policy front, the full outcomes of the Fair Work Act Review process will soon be known and will comprise a large portion of the workplace relations policy research undertaken by AMMA into 2013. We also anticipate migration and EMAs will remain a major focus area as we lobby for greater efficiency and more approvals. In addition, wider policy work will continue to support skills development across our industry as the labour shortages begin to intensify.

AMMA’s public affairs and government relations activity will continue to support this heightened policy activity through strategic media campaigns and generating publicity for major industry developments and legislative areas. AMMA’s wider public campaigns will focus on reducing the costs and barriers to doing business in Australia, and also lobby for the right policy settings to secure our future pipeline of resource projects.

In the Member Services arena, AMMA is forecasting continued growth in membership and associate membership as we further spread our expertise across the industry. The AWRA project is gaining momentum and we are starting to see in-roads into this complex area being created; while AMMA miningoilandgasjobs.com goes from strength to strength and is expected to secure a range of new partners and clients as our marketing and awareness activity increases.

Taking a macro perspective to our role within the industry, AMMA Industry Services will focus on the following broad areas:

• Influencing the conditions to make Australia an attractive destination for resource investment;

• Increasing the value of the membership offer;

• Strengthening the quality and consistency of AMMA’s member relationships and services;

• Seeking new areas for assistance and service in the resources sector and resources sector supply chain;

• Facilitating ready access to skilled labour for our member companies; and

• Representing the interests, benefits, and positive activities of the industry at the highest level.

The AMMA Industry Services Division thanks members for their ongoing support of our new and existing activities throughout 2012. We anticipate 2013 will prove another highly successful and exciting year as our industry continues its great advancement.

Skill shortage a continuing challengeResource industry employer group, the Australian Mines and Metals Association, believes that despite reports of a small number of companies scaling back workforces, the demand for skilled workers in the resources sector remains unprecedented in Australia’s history.

During 2012, AMMA’s Consulting Services Division has experienced continued growth and service expansion across all its functional areas.

The nature and further development of pre-existing and new large scale resource projects across Australia is driving high levels of demand for experienced industrial relations and workforce development specialists able to provide tailored solutions to the industry.

AMMA remains uniquely positioned to deliver a wide range of this expertise to resource employers and we continue to expand our core capabilities in response to emerging needs and the increasing complexity of Australia’s workforce landscape.

In addition to increased activity in workplace relations, training and migration services, 2012 has also seen the introduction of AMMA Legal Services, a new service fast becoming recognised for its high degree of technical expertise and sophistication in advice delivery.

Legal complements and further enhances our existing capabilities and one which now enables AMMA to offer members a true end-to-end consulting and advisory service.

The division has worked with member companies as they continue to face significant challenges generated by the legislative environment, increasing levels of union activity and militancy, labour and skills shortages and agreement negotiations and renewals.

Underlying the breadth of AMMA’s service offerings is our ongoing commitment to continuous improvement in:

• assisting members with employee relations risk mitigation strategies for their operations;

• delivering strategic industrial relations advice regarding the legal and commercial structure and execution of EPCM engagements on major construction projects;

• building capability in the resource industry through investment in our training and development services;

• The provision of legal advice and strategies to manage both vexatious litigation claims and workplace change in sensitive unionised environments;

• General consulting services associated with employment and industrial relations advice and human resources policies and procedures;

The following outline of yearly divisional activities demonstrates how Consulting Services has delivered on its commitment to members during 2012 and will further develop and enhance our support to the resource industry into the future.

WOrkPLACe COnsuLTIng

OvervIeWWorkplace Consulting is responsible for delivering AMMA’s human resource and employee relations consulting services through our national network of skilled consultants.

The level of consulting activity in 2012 was highly active with solid results across all states. Consulting opportunities presented in:

• Coal seam gas projects in Queensland;

• Offshore construction projects in Victoria and Western Australia;

• Shut down and onshore construction work in Victoria, Western Australia, Queensland and South Australia; and

• Continued demand in operational areas across all sectors.

A major feature of our consulting activity across Australia was the demand generated by the large-scale investment in projects across all major resources: oil and gas; coal; uranium; and iron ore. In addition to project demand, a large focus was on negotiating new and replacement workplace agreements in all sectors.

In 2012, AMMA’s consulting resources were also widely engaged in all states due to a range of internal human resourcing challenges within our members.

The closing of year provided further opportunities to work with members as they faced shifting workforce challenges resulting from ongoing skill shortages, issues associated with the legislative environment and increased cost control and revenue challenges around some decreases in commodity prices and project postponement.

AMMA resOurCe seCTOr COnsuLTIng servICesAll AMMA members have continued their high level of support and engagement with AMMA Consulting. Outlined below are examples of the types of consulting activity provided:

OTher ACTIvITIes Resource Sector Graduate ProgramThe successful AMMA Resource Sector Graduate Program, introduced in 2010, was further enhanced in 2012 with the program including placements with member companies on construction sites and corporate environments. In addition, members sought the inclusion of a placement with AMMA as part of their own internal graduate programs.

The program runs over two years and includes placements with member companies and with the different AMMA Divisions. The program is establishing an excellent reputation for the development of graduates seeking a career in employee relations. Past graduates have already established career paths with member companies following completion of the program.

OvervIeWFollowing the introduction of Legal and Migration Services as a separate functional area in 2012, AMMA is now proud to offer members an end-to-end consulting and advisory service.

With a unique, deep understanding of the operational elements of the resource industry and its current and imminent challenges, our national network of qualified lawyers provide innovative technical and strategic legal advice, as well as tribunal and court appearance work.

In the current workplace relations environment, managing employment matters is increasingly challenging and attracts attention at the highest levels within our member companies. AMMA’s Legal team is committed to reducing risk, while ensuring our members are known as best practice employers.

Striking before talking upheldThe Australian Mines and Metals Association said the decision confirmed the need for the federal government to change the laws. “The government must amend obvious shortcomings in the workplace laws that left unchanged will facilitate widespread union strike action occurring in workplaces across Australia,” the association’s chief executive Steve Knott said.

TesTIng The FAIr WOrk LAnDsCAPeMore than three years since the introduction of the Fair Work Act, we continue to see the interpretation of key provisions for the first time.

This year, Legal worked with AMMA Policy to intervene in three such cases of significant importance to our members:

• Ryan v Whitehaven Coal Mining limited – AMMA intervened to support the company in arguing that the National Employment Standards do not oblige an employer to pay annual leave loading on termination where an agreement is silent on the issue;

• Appeal by endeavour energy – AMMA was refused leave to make a unique jurisdictional argument, but in the alternative intervened in support of Endeavour Energy in seeking to overturn Fair Work Australia’s decision to implement a saliva-based drug and alcohol policy; and

• AdJ Contracting – AMMA supported an appeal about the validity of clauses in an agreement which restricted payment of wages for contractors, varied right of entry and required promotion of union membership.

In just one response to the major disputation that has besieged the construction industry this year, Legal also tested the good faith bargaining provisions by applying for a bargaining order in response to an unlawful employee picket. This was one of the first applications of its kind.

sTrATegIC ADvIsOrY FOr MAjOr PrOjeCTsDespite the challenges which the legislation and its common law interpretations present, AMMA is well known for its consulting work in executing commercial workplace relations strategies on major projects.

This year, Legal has successfully partnered with AMMA’s expert consultants and in-house member expertise at all levels of the EPC(M) hierarchy, to develop workplace relations strategies for a number of major projects in the initial pre-execution phase.

With many more major projects reaching approval, Legal looks forward to contributing to the commercial effectiveness of our members, from project-owners to contractors and sub-contractors, over the coming year.

MIgrATIOn servICes2012 has seen many exciting developments in migration law, including approval of the first Enterprise Migration Agreement and a critical test case about the operation of migration laws in the offshore oil and gas industry.

As demand for labour on major projects heightens, AMMA members are faced with increased challenges in attracting and retaining skilled staff from the local recruitment market. Simultaneously, the increased scrutiny of foreign labour sourcing practices raises these workforce challenges.

This backdrop has increased the demand for AMMA’s migration advisory and visa processing services within the resources industry, to now be at a higher level than ever. We forecast this will only continue throughout 2013.

In Migration, we have focused on assisting our members to think strategically about their responses to labour shortages and the cost of doing business in Australia.

Working with AMMA Policy to stay ahead of the trends, AMMA Migration offers a unique industry benefit by reinvesting in resources. As knowledge of our highly efficient, cost-effective service grows, so does our contribution to the industry.

AMMA’s Migration Conferences are also providing a tailored forum for members to learn, network and share ideas with peers about resourcing solutions and experiences.

With a number of new projects attaining financial commitment and plans for expansion of our service in the pipeline, AMMA Migration looks forward to supporting our membership in reducing mobilisation constraints and sustaining the Australian economy in the coming year.


Union fury over Rinehart move to import workersAustralian Mines and Metals Association chief executive Steve Knott said the project “delivers a critical piece of mining infrastructure to support our economy over the next generation”.

AMMA TrAInIng & DeveLOPMenT

OvervIeWThe increased activity across the national resource industry has maintained exceptional demand for AMMA’s training services throughout Australia.

During 2012 the delivery of AMMA Training and Development services to our members increased in scope and frequency. There was a significant focus on competency-based training and assessment with products and services customised for the resource industry. In addition, AMMA also provided tailor made training and/or assessment to accommodate specific operational requirements across Australia.

A significant proportion of the training and development activities in 2012 were due to funding from two major government initiatives:

• The Critical Skills Investment Fund (CSIF); and

• The National Workforce Development Fund (NWDF).

AMMA was successful in attracting in excess of one million dollars to support training initiatives in a number of representative member companies.

AMMA’s training and development products and services are represented in two key areas:

• Short courses (including the Resource Industry Leadership Program (RILP) and Employee Relations Workshops); and

• Nationally Recognised Training.

shOrT COursesResource Industry leadership Program (RIlP)Leadership development has been a popular theme among resource employers throughout 2012. The AMMA suite of courses in the RILP offerings has attracted new supervisors, middle managers and experienced managers and leaders.

There are seven courses in total which can be delivered as stand-alone units or as a comprehensive leadership program. These are widely utilised for professional development and career development in the resource industry.

The courses have been developed as a result of feedback from AMMA members and are constantly reviewed to ensure the outcomes address current requirements and challenges facing resource industry supervisors, managers and leaders.

employee Relations WorkshopsThere was a dramatic increase in the workshops delivered by AMMA within the employee relations arena throughout 2012. Member companies invested in training as a proactive strategy to minimise risk and ensure employees are aware of internal and external processes in dealing with their people.

The management of workplace issues was a common theme with the following workshops generating strong interest and participation:

• Dealing with Union Right of Entry;

• Bargaining Skills under the Fair Work Act;

• Fundamentals of Employment Relationships;

• Understanding the Industrial Relations Safety Net; and

• Discipline and Termination.

In addition to the calendar courses delivered throughout the year, AMMA members also requested a range of customised courses to align to their workplace requirements, all of which were delivered on-site to accommodate operational requirements.

nATIOnALLY reCOgnIseD TrAInIngAMMA’s scope of registration includes courses ranging from Certificate II through to Diploma and units of competence aligned to the High Risk Work (HRW) licensing requirements. AMMA has enrolled more than 300 participants in a variety of qualifications over the last 12 months.

Of these, 50% have now completed certificates in Frontline Management, Human Resource Management, Training and Assessing, Underground Mining, Resource processing and Occupational Health and Safety.

A range of member partnerships are currently in place whereby members deliver the qualifications on-site and AMMA provides the RTO compliance and support. This is a significant benefit to members who do not have the capacity or necessity to become an RTO in their own right.


Building up the front lineThe training is being run by the Australian Mines and Metals Association, an industry group and registered training organisation, and was designed to ease critical skills shortages on resources projects.


In support of these partnerships, and industry in general, AMMA has been proactive in delivering an upgrade program for trainers and assessors as a result of changes to the training package.

With a new dynamic training team and specialised training and development consultants, AMMA Training and Development will continue to strengthen AMMA’s reputation as an industry leader and innovator.

The YeAr AheADAMMA’s Consulting Services Division will be presented with significant opportunities and challenges in 2013 as the level and quality of service delivery to our member base increases.

The major focus for 2013 will be to add value to AMMA membership through the horizontal and vertical integration of consulting services we offer our member companies. This will assist the industry with evolving human resource challenges in what is emerging as an uncertain economic environment.

With anticipated market factors likely to produce a level of cost pressures within our membership base not seen since 2008/2009, AMMA is well placed to assist members with these challenges as it did then.

2013 will also see a continued effort by AMMA to enhance its engagement with members through optimising existing consulting resources, skills and experience. This enables us to provide members with an enhanced consulting service and the continued expansion of both our Legal and Training and Development capabilities.

Through these enhanced capabilities, we ensure that AMMA can continue to meet the evolving needs of our members.

We anticipate sustained high levels of demand for project-related activities will continue during 2013 and AMMA will be front and centre in assisting our members to meet ongoing workforce challenges.

In the year ahead the Division will continue to:

• Expand our service offerings and internal resources and capability to ensure that we can best service member needs;

• Support and assist members through the provision of quality, relevant and cost effective consulting, legal training and migration services;

• Build and strengthen relations and communities of interest with existing and new members; and

• Maintain a focus on continuous improvement efforts to ensure that we maximise our own productivity and outcomes and are able to deliver increased value to our members.

The AMMA Consulting Services Division thanks members for the support they provided in 2012 and looks forward to continuing to work with members in 2013.
