These joint activities and projects make ACoP membership influential in informing and shaping the national discourse and policy development on matters affecting the Professions, in particular Education, Accreditation, Micro-Credentials and Employability, Professionalism and Ethics, Diversity, Culture and Inclusion as well as Climate Action.

The activities and projects of the Australian Council of Professions (ACoP) are independently funded and supported by its Member Organisations.

Becoming a Member

To participate in and benefit from our activities and projects, you can become a member of the Australian Council of Professions (ACoP) if you are either a Professional Association established in Australia to represent a profession and/or ensure its quality or if you are a Supporting Organisation that supports professionalism and our vision, mission and constitutional objects.
