We’ll compare the framework’s early vision with today’s reality and engage in a discussion on the current perceptions of government support. The interactive format of this in-person event will encourage audience participation\, including a live poll to capture industry sentiment. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights into how AMAF continues to shape asset management in Victoria amid shifting financial landscapes. \n\nClick here to register\n  \nAbout the speaker: \nNicholas Phillips is the Executive Director and Principal Consultant of MACE Consulting (Aust) Pty Ltd specialising in Asset Management\, Lifecycle Cost and Performance Analysis\, and Reliability and Maintainability Analysis.
