Scholarships & Bursaries

Bell Bay Aluminium (BBA) smelter began operating in 1955 and holds a unique place In Tasmanian and Australian history as the first aluminium smelter In the Southern Hemisphere. We use leading technology to find new ways to increase productivity and reduce use of our natural resources. We have embraced smart technology and in 2019, the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) granted its Performance Standard and Chain of Custody certifications to the smelter. ASI certification means customers can be assured that the aluminium they purchase has been produced to the highest environmental, social and governance standards, ranging from greenhouse gas emissions to human rights.
