An Australian platform with an international outlook

SITA promotes knowledge exchange and professional collaboration between Australia's drone community and the wider international ecosystem. We follow global developments in safety standards, regulatory practice, technology and real-world applications, helping members understand international trends and evaluate their relevance to the Australian context.

The Association welcomes engagement with enterprises, industry organisations, research institutions, education providers, experts and application partners from around the world.

SITA does not seek to simply replicate overseas models. Our role is to interpret international experience through the lens of Australian regulation, safety expectations, market conditions and community needs.
