Recognising "that the events industry is diverse encompassing not just the performing arts, but everything from public and corporate events to exhibitions and broadcast, wherever the same equipment and techniques are in use", The ESAA intends "to bring together all the players in the market to develop a truly representational voice for the Australian industry".
In the context of public event safety and emergency management, the ESAA aims are:
To develop and promote the Australian Event Safety Guide, across all States and Territories incorporating national and international standards of best practice.
To promote co-operation and mutual assistance between people and organizations.
To arrange meetings and seminars as appropriate and to publish and distribute information in written and electronic format.
To incorporate input from our membership and disseminate information as widely as possible through meetings, conventions, published materials and electronic media.
To meet, liaise and cooperate with similar national and international associations for the benefit of the industry in general.
