About the IAM

The IAM welcomes collaborative relationships with similar organisations for the mutual benefit of members and the global community, and to increase awareness of asset management. Such collaborations with organisations have a positive impact on members’ professional growth and the development and promotion of asset management best practice.

We would love to hear from you if you would like to find out about collaborating with the IAM.

AMC

The Asset Management Council (AMC) was first formed as the Maintenance Engineering Society of Australia Inc (MESA) in the early 1990s, as a Technical Society of the Institution of Engineers Australia. Since then it has rapidly grown to its present membership of 1,300 members. In 2005, MESA changed its name to reflect its focus of incorporating all aspects of asset management.

The IAM has a Memorandum of Understanding with the AMC allowing AMC Members discount on IAM products and membership. Like the IAM, the AMC is a not for profit organisation whose main objective is to advance all facets of the discipline of asset management and to facilitate the exchange of information and related ideas.

The Institute of Asset Management is supporting the ‘Connect to Change’ initiative, which advocates applying systems approaches in the built environment to achieve better outcomes with fewer resources in more lasting ways.

’Connect to Change’ was launched on 3 July 2025.
