About The RAEME Association - Victoria
The Association
On the 7th December 1945, the Australian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers
Association (Victorian Division) had themselves registered and in fact
became the Office of the proposed Federal (National) body of the AEME
Association in Australia, (but never formalized the Victorian Division).
History seems to tell us from documentation in our hands, that the only 2
Associations who have continued uninterrupted over the past 52 years has
been the Victorian and Tasmanian Associations, now no longer affiliated.
Western Australia, South Australia and New South Wales in the 1950s and
60s, have each now, in their own right reformed as State bodies,
Queensland is now up and running with two sub- branches.
The ‘Corps of Australian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers Association’ was
Incorporated as a Company on 7th December 1945.
The AEME Association (Victoria Division) Inc. and the RAEME Association (Vic)
amalgamated, on 26th February 1961 and the two Associations were
Incorporated as The RAEME Association (Vic) Incorporated. Since then we
have gone from strength to strength.
We have a primary role to foster and develop spirit and tradition throughout
the RAEME Corps in Victoria and surrounding Rural Areas. This is achieved by
the Association through the involvement of members in social, military and
Corps events in Victoria. The Association is open to all ranks and
membership is automatic for serving and ex- serving RAEME Corps and REME
British Commonwealth Defense Forces members, who are eligible for
Association Membership.
We have established regular contact with our sister AEME/RAEME/RAEME
Vietnam Associations in ACT, N.S.W. S.A. W.A. and Tasmania. In addition,
contact has also been established with The REME Associations in the U.K.
Canada and REME Association (S.A.) Branch.
