Sydney Temporary Lounge and Training Room Relocation - Member Services Update

The Sydney Business Centre and Member Lounge (BCML) remains closed due remediation works at Jamison Street. Members can continue to utilise The Executives Centre facilities in Bligh St, Angel Place and Three International Towers.

3 June, 2024

Sydney Office Change of Address

The remediation works continue at the Australian Institute of Company Directors Jamison Street premise following the water damage sustained in December 2023. Due the extent of the work required, we have secured office space for staff at Level 12, Tower 3 Darling Park, 201 Sussex Street Sydney, to ensure our staff are supported in their work to deliver value for our members.

For now, as members you will continue to have access to The Executive Centre’s member lounge facilities at Bligh St, Angel Place and Three International Towers.

The Executive Centre offers a space for you to work, meet and network while our regular Sydney premises remain closed.

Members who utilise The Executive Centre have shared the below sentiments regarding their experiences:

• Friendly, welcoming, and helpful concierge
• Nicely designed spaces with options including meeting rooms, agile desks, booths, café facilities.
• Multiple co-working spaces, great for collaboration
• Bright open spaces
• Clean, modern, comfortable environment

To access The Executive Centre, please follow the steps listed below (refer to Member Update 19 February 2024).
