Launched in 2007, the Australian Remediation Industry Cluster
(ARIC) is a network of Australian expertise in environmental
remediation. Through scientific, technical and advisory education,
training and networking, it fosters the development of new skills
and technology to combat contamination.
ARIC forum
The ARIC members forum, formerly hosted on the Remediation
Australasia website, has been relocated to the professional
networking website LinkedIn.
The high number of ARIC members already using LinkedIn, and the
significant traffic experienced by the website, have resulted in a
great response to the new forum.
Members are welcome to use the ARIC forum to network, raise
topics of concern or interest, and work together remotely on issues
of importance.
Remediation Australasia (website and magazine)
The Remediation Australasia magazine provides news and
technical information for the remediation industry throughout
Australasia.
It is the primary communication tool for ARIC to draw the
industry together and provide an information outlet for
participant.
The online-only magazine moved to a print and online version in
September 2011, and was launched at the CleanUp 2011
Conference.

Australasia magazine
The ARIC website, also entitled Remediation
Australasia, was launched at the ARIC Industry Summit at CleanUp 09
conference in September 2009. It is a source of information for the

site, where they can browse previous issues of the Remediation
Australasia magazine, search through library links and resources on
