National Laboratory Management Award
The National Laboratory Awards are available to laboratories which stand out above other laboratories for their exemplary, sustainable management activities.

The Australian Organisation for Quality (Queensland) Incorporated (AOQ-QLD™) is a stand alone member based not-for-profit association registered under the Queensland Associations Incorporation Act 1981 Section 15, Incorporation Number IA16979.

AOQ-QLD™ has always purported to be what it is, ie a networking organisation for quality management and Business Improvement individuals and organisations providing training, networking, consulting and auditing services.

The AOQ-QLD™ rescinded its membership of the Australian Organisation for Quality Inc (the National Body) in September 2007 because, in the short term, the Council could not see a reasonable return on investment for the dues that were levied and for the time spent in participating in the activities of the National Body.

AOQ-QLD™ is a very responsible and forward looking organisation, being at the forefront of improvement strategies for business and now has ventured into the energy conservation field, as this activity impinges on the sustainability of enterprises.

AOQ-QLD™ operates six Divisions: Aerospace, Aged Care, Entrepreneur, Regulated Research Development and Manufacturing (Pharmaceutical), Six Sigma and Software Systems Engineering. Regional Groups operate in Townsville and Rockhampton.

AOQ-QLD™ sponsors and mentors student academic activities at The University of Queensland and Griffith University and provides specialist external lecturers in all three Brisbane based universities. Conferences are co-hosted with The University of Queensland, Griffith University, QUT and Monash University.

AOQ-QLD™ conducts training in related fields on a regular basis, both in Queensland and other States. During 2008, the various Divisions of the Organisation will have co-hosted four conferences in Aged Care, Six Sigma, Pharmaceutical and general business. Plans are in place for six conferences in 2009. Conferences and Forums are conducted in a number of States.

AOQ-QLD™ owns the copyright to the Gold Award for Business Excellence, which it has developed over a decade and which is conducted as a State-by-State and National Event.
