DAMA Canberra Chapter

DAMA Canberra Chapter's Corporate members include the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), Australian Taxation Office (ATO), Centrelink, Customs, Department of Defence (DoD), Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA), Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC), Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA), Attorney-General's Department, Australian Sports Commission, Medicare Australia and Geoscience Australia. There are also a number of individual members who are independent contractors and consultants working in government agencies.

The Chapter holds bi-monthly meetings and hosts regular meetings of the Metadata Implementors Group that focuses on metadata standards, metadata registries, and other emerging metadata issues.

The major benefit sought by members is to be part of an informal network to hear guest speakers, network, and exchange ideas with data managers who have similar responsibilities in other organisations. To assist the networking, DAMA provides cocktails or a dinner with each meeting. On average thirty members will attend each meeting.
