Licensing requirements for signage installation professionals are strict and can vary from State to State, but with hefty penalties for those who don’t comply with requirements, it’s vital to know what building licenses you need. It was fantastic to welcome expert Charl Taylor from CI-Advantage to the stand on the Thursday morning of the recent Visual Impct Expo in Sydney, to provide some important guidance for anyone installing signage, or overseeing its installation. Those who missed out can find State-specific information prepared by Charl by logging in to the Member area of the ASGA website and selecting ‘Webinar Recordings’ from the menu to hear an earlier session on the topic.

On Day 2 of the recent Visual Impact Expo in Sydney, we welcomed Brad Turpin Jnr from the International Sign Association (ISA) via live-cross, talking with ASGA Member & Events Manager, Damian Nielsen, about ISA's training resources. More than 60 online courses are now available to ASGA Members through our reciprocal partnership with the US-based association, with Brad saying the ability to refresh, reskill and upskill staff is invaluable, and ISA plans to keep expanding the range of options available in future. Sincere thanks to Brad for making time to take part despite the time differences! Find out more and see the entire course list available to ASGA Members at https://signs.org.au/isa-courses/

Associations like ASGA are not just the people you see standing on a stage, or sitting on a National Executive. A lot of the important work happens quietly in the background, and it relies on people being prepared to put their hand up, give their time and get involved when the industry needs them. Fran Thorne has done that for a very long time. That's just part of what ASGA President, Mick Harrold, said at the ASGA's 2026 Easy Signs National Sign & Graphics Awards, in presenting Fran Thorne with a Life Membership recognising years of dedication and contribution to the industry. Fran and husband Lindsay, owners of Magnum Signs in Gisborne, Victoria, are pictured here - what a team! Congratulations Fran!

There's nothing more important to the future of our sector than apprenticeships, so it was great to welcome Anthony Bitler from BuildSkills to the ASGA stand at Visual Impact Expo in Sydney a couple of weeks ago, to discuss the latest collaborations between government, training organisations and industry to determine the future of apprenticeships in our sector and ensure qualifications and training are changing to meet the needs of our ever-evolving industry. ASGA has been involved in discussions about the structure and content of the Certificate III in Sign & Graphics over the past few months, alongside representatives from BuildSkills, the printing sector and others.

A remarkable career was recognised last week when Vernon Kingman was inducted as a Life Member of ASGA. In presenting the Awards, ASGA Vice President Damian Nielsen, said Vernon is "a man whose work ethic, craftsmanship, and leadership helped shape the modern identity of our sector. He not only built signs. He built careers. He built standards. He built community. And he built one of the most recognisable signage companies in Western Australia." Vernon is pictured here with ASGA President Mick Harrold, after the presentation. Congratulations Vernon!
