Collectively our membership base represents over 150,000 professionals in public administration, with our corporate members including all current Commonwealth Departments, a large number of agencies, the ACT Public Service, private sector organisations and academia. 

Corporate membership provides real value to an organisation, through us working with you directly to help you achieve your organisation’s goals and objectives from the membership. This may include providing a platform for speakers and topics from your organisation, connecting you with other organisations, providing development opportunities designed to enhance and build the capability of your staff, and supporting the continual growth of a professional public service.
