ACUMEN

The Acumen online database of practice advisory material continued to be a highly valued and accessed resource providing topical guidance across the membership demographic. University subscriptions remained steady despite ongoing challenges in this sector.

New and updated content covered a wide range of issues relevant to the profession including accessible entry, co-design, embodied water, gender equity, modern slavery, pathways to registration and Quality Management System certification. Showcasing sustainable design in practice, three new case study notes were added: Welcome to the Jungle House, Daramu House and the Queensland University of Technology Peter Coaldrake Education Precinct. Engagement with SONA has seen the creation of three new co-curated notepacks for this demographic, including a themed Super Studio notepack on sustainable and regenerative design.

A consistent schedule of social media and e-newsletter posts has been put in place to communicate new and highlighted content to further grow engagement and visibility. Alongside dedicated member and tertiary updates, an inaugural Knowledge e-newsletter cross-promoted Acumen and CPD material on a given theme.

The Acumen editorial team is ably supported by our voluntary member representatives on the Acumen Content Review Panel and the Environment Advisory Group in the production of new, updated, and consolidated content. This work is strengthened through external expertise and connections to national and chapter working groups.
