CPA Program Enrolments
CPA Australia has invested significantly in technology to improve the enrolment experience for Associate members. The priority is to eliminate outages and minimise delays for members.
The November enrolment period saw no outages. Overall, members reported a quick and seamless enrolment experience. There were close to 5000 successful enrolments on day one and the average enrolment time per unit was just 30 seconds. The project was delivered on time and to budget.

Website Development
The website is a critical touchpoint for members. We are working to deliver a new website that will provide a more personalised experience for users.
A strategy has been developed with input from a range of stakeholders, including member groups. A user-led approach prioritises the voice of the member and enables advanced functionality with personalised portals for different types of users.
We are currently working on a detailed design for the build and implementation phase.
First release is scheduled for the end of Q1, 2021.
