The aim of the WA Library Technicians Group (WALT) symposium grant is to enable students and recent graduates of a library technician qualification course to experience the value of a National Library and Information Technicians' Symposium. The Symposium is a prime source of professional development and networking opportunities for library technicians within Australia and overseas.

ALIA Asia Pacific Special Interest Group (ALIA APSIG) is a national group that aims to lead efforts in identifying new sources of support for the development between information professionals in the region, through two-way co-operation. It also aims to provide a forum for members to discuss regional professional issues and to communicate these to the appropriate forum; hosts public talks relating to relevant issues; and produce a membership newsletter three times per year.
