A VOICE FOR MEMBERS

CPA Australia and the broader membership benefit from having the voice and expertise of the members clearly represented in our work. Centres of Excellence members contribute to developing policy positions, as well as the organisations’ responses to consultations and exposure drafts and ensuring member insights drive our thought leadership work.

Membership tenure is for two years, after which a member can renominate. Appointments to a Centre of Excellence are made by the CPA Australia Chief Executive Officer or their delegate. Centres of Excellence include CPA Australia members and non-CPA Australia members (non-CPA Australia members may not comprise more than half of the members of each Centres of Excellence).

INTERESTED IN CONTRIBUTING TO CPA AUSTRALIA'S POLICY AND ADVOCACY WORK?

We regularly seek input and feedback from all members on a variety of policy and advocacy matters. Visit the Consultations and Submission page to Have Your Say or email [email protected] to find out how you can be involved.
