About AEES

AEES is a Technical Society of Engineers Australia. AEES was established after the 1989 Newcastle earthquake to promote the practice of earthquake engineering and engineering seismology. AEES is a not-for-profit organisation, ABN 83 410 367 830.

AEES was formally established in December 1990 and affiliated with IAEE and with the Institution of Engineers Australia as a professional society. The inaugural executive was Charles Bubb as President, Kevin McCue as Secretary, and David Rossiter as Treasurer. Prior to 1990, Professor Stan Shaw and then Charles Bubb were Australia’s delegates at IAEE conferences.

The AEES has an executive of volunteers who run the Society on a day to day basis and co-ordinate its activities. The President-Elect, Secretary and Treasurer are appointed every three years at the Annual General Meeting, and ordinary members are appointed by the Executive Committee at the start of each year. The last election was held at Mt Macedon in November 2022.
