To cover the cost of high quality, expert presenters and provide a good learning environment, we need to raise our prices for professional development, which haven’t increased since 2012.

During this time, costs like presenter fees, venues and catering have risen considerably. Looking at the prices charged by other professional bodies, our prices are much less. 

In the past few years, we have focused on lifting quality, using senior, recognised presenters to deliver our courses. We don’t want to compromise quality for price. This improvement in quality is making our courses more popular. We’ve had our highest-ever number of registrations over the past year. 

From 1 October, prices for members will rise from $575 to $790 for a one-day course, and from $50 to $80 for webinars.
