Membership Categories
Membership may be sought in one of the following categories:
Accredited Member
An Accredited member is a person who supports the Objects of the Association, including ongoing participation in continuing professional development (CPD) who is engaged full time or part time in access consulting, and has the experience and qualifications required by ACAA. Accreditation by ACAA does not guarantee that the member is competent in access consulting. Accreditation with ACAA is available in one or more of the following categories of practice: Advisory Services, Auditing Services and Design Services.
Applicants seeking Accredited Membership must provide documentary evidence of their qualifications and experience. Applicants for Accredited Membership must complete Membership Application Forms 1 and 2.
Associate Member
An Associate Member is a person who supports the Objects of the Association and who is engaged full time or part time in access consulting, but who is not seeking accreditation, or has yet to demonstrate the experience and qualifications required by ACA Australia for accreditation. Applicants seeking Associate Membership must demonstrate that they are engaged in access consulting, and when applying to upgrade to Accredited membership must demonstrate that they have gained suitable experience in one or more of the practice categories and has participated in continuing professional development (CPD).
Affiliate Member
A person with an interest in access and who supports the Objects of the Association, but who is not engaged in access consulting, or who is not seeking membership as an Accredited Member or Associate Member, may apply for membership of the Association as an Affiliate Member.
There shall be no career path by which Affiliate Members may automatically upgrade to Associate or Accredited Membership.
