About us
The South Australian Chamber of Mines and Energy (SACOME) is the peak industry association for all companies with business interests in the resources industry in South Australia.
The resources industry is defined as the full spectrum of sectors engaged in industry activities including those with business, vocational or professional interests in minerals exploration, mining and processing, oil and gas exploration, extraction and processing, power generation including geothermal power, transmission and distribution, logistics, transport, infrastructure, and those with clients in these sectors. SACOME membership is open to all companies with business interests in the resources industry in South Australia.
SACOME is primarily an advocacy organsiation and makes formal and informal representations to government (federal and state) on matters of interest or concern to our members (either from a whole of industry or company perspective). SACOME monitors and where necessary seeks to influence government policy and regulation to ensure that it supports the resources industry. SACOME is apolitical and proactively engages with both government and opposition parties.
SACOME convenes meetings, forums, seminars and workshops dedicated to advancing and promoting the interests of members. SACOME also maintains a program of functions designed to keep members informed of industry projects, promote the industry to the wider community, and to provide social and networking opportunities.
SACOME hosts and administers programs in areas where there is a specific member/industry/community benefit, for example our Education and Careers Programs, and Working With Aboriginal Australians Programs.
