In Australia and New Zealand the IET supports local engineers and engineering students with branches in all major centres. These branches organise technical seminars, provide a forum for networking and recognise contribution towards the profession through the awarding of annual prizes.

These prizes include the IET Thesis Prize, the IET Prize (for the best final year electrical engineering student at each university) and the IET Technical Presentation Prize.

The IET NSW has a seperate web page from the YMS and it is available here: www.theiet.org.au/nsw.
