ICS-MEES Pty Ltd success is based upon our principle of trusting of our culture and listening and adhering to our grassroots, community controlled grounding and as part of this our future planning is open to input from communities and grassroots individuals. With this in mind, we are extremely keen to receive input and ideas of topics of concern from around Australia which may not have the chance to be address this year.
