Connecting Korean-heritage professionals across Australia's resources industry
KMPA is a member-led professional association for people working in mining, oil & gas and METS — engineers, operators, trades, safety, commercial and technology professionals, from site to boardroom.
Why join KMPA
A professional home for Korean-heritage people in Australian resources, and a practical link between the Australian and Korean industries.
Build your network
Meet members across commodities, companies and roles at events in Perth and online. Mixed-role tables mean operators, engineers, supervisors and METS people talk to each other.
Advance your career
Careers nights, hiring-manager briefings, mentoring and member referrals that help you find the next role, the next site or the next step up.
Share knowledge
Technical talks, field masterclasses and bilingual Knowledge Notes written by members, from drill and blast to LNG turnarounds.
Connect Australia and Korea
Roundtables and introductions that link Australian site experience with Korean industry, investors, technology providers and government.
Upcoming events
Technical sessions, networking and the inaugural General Meeting. Members receive every event in their @kmpa.com.au calendar automatically.
Our communities
Six practice communities bring members together by discipline. Each runs its own talks, site visits and projects during the year.
Open to every role in resources
KMPA is not an engineers-only association. If you make a skilled contribution to the industry, you belong here — whether you work underground, on a plant, in a workshop, in an office or in a lab. No degree or title is required.
Help shape the association from the start
Founding Members elect the first Board, choose the practice communities they want to see, and are recognised permanently on the KMPA Founding Roll. Founding fees fund the association's legal setup and digital platform, and the first general meeting receives a full account of how they were spent.
