Are you passionate about shaping the future of our Association? Becoming a Board Member is a rewarding way to contribute your skills, experience, and insights to help guide our strategic direction and support our mission.

The Role of the Board

The MPAQ Board provides leadership, sets the strategic and policy direction, and oversees the business and affairs of the Association in alignment with its core purpose, to be the peak industry body representing plumbing and gas contractors in Queensland. The Board is supported by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and their appointed team.
