The Australasian Corrosion Association Western Australia Branch continues to work closely with industry to deliver a tailored and highly engaged technical program that reflects the needs of its partners and supporters. Led by President Sri Kambhampati and Vice President Mike Dehghan, the branch is supported by an active committee focused on fostering collaboration across the corrosion, coatings, and energy sectors.
The 2026 calendar features a strong mix of facility site visits, technical events, and industry-themed sessions including galvanizing processes, coatings, oil, gas and energy, and cathodic protection of steel structures. With two branch partners and two individual event sponsors supporting the program, the Western Australia Branch remains committed to delivering meaningful, industry-aligned events that provide value to members, partners, and attendees.
