What our valued members are saying

We are a member of QRC to tap into an important source of information and advocacy. The QRC is a very good source of relevant information for the industry as well a strong advocate for its interests. The resources sector spans a wide range of operations, metals, minerals, disciplines, skills and interests. As such, a peak body is able to synthesise those interests into policy advocacy and public information programs that benefit the industry as a whole.

Hastings Deering has been a service member of QRC since 2007 and we’re incredibly proud of this. QRC supports our relationships with customers and is a fundamental way we align with them and work collaboratively within our wider industry. QRC plays a critical role in highlighting the importance of our industry to the community and within the wider economy. As a long-standing service member of QRC, having the opportunity to connect and collaborate with QRC and other businesses within our sector on the issues that are important to us is a clear benefit.

Mark Scott

Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Hastings Deering

We have been a member of QRC for over 2 decades and QRC has been a fearless and forthright advocate for the minerals and energy sector in Queensland throughout that time. QRC's communities’ and governments’ understanding and appreciation for the resource sector’s high standards and important economic and social contribution for all Queenslanders is sometimes lost amid the noise and complexities of modern life. QRC as the peak body does a good job of communicating those contributions to build community and political support, leading in the long term to better public policy.
