What we do
Through collaboration, participation and support we provide advocacy, governance, promotion and representation of the Australian esports industry.
The AESA is committed to working with the gaming and esports community to ensure a safe, fair and inclusive esports environment for all.
Committees are enacted to enhance avenues for the Australian community to participate in the AESA and support the development of the industry.
The AESA has launched a series of committees that provide an independent, not-for profit forum for the fair and equal representation of key stakeholders in the Australian esports community. Encouraging a collaborative environment for the Australian esports community to work together, represent their interests and voice their rights to foster a sustainable, well governed esports environment for all.
The committees provide specialist skills and knowledge to the AESA enhancing our capability to benefit the Australian esports community. Each committee elects its members and a chairperson annually.
