Excellence starts with membership
By becoming a member of the AICD, you can connect with the world’s largest director community, get priority access to events and education resources, and help shape the future of governance in Australia.

Be the first to know
AICD membership gives you early, direct access to the latest governance regulations and considerations. With the most up-to-date information, you can lead with more conviction.

Impact lasting change
As a bridge—and contributor—to policymaking, the AICD gives members the opportunity to share their views and experiences on complex governance issues and help shape the future of contemporary governance in Australia.

Stay ahead of the curve
Governance is ever evolving, so continuous learning is essential for any director. As an AICD member, you enjoy member-exclusive pricing on all courses, events, webinars and initiatives.
Preparing you for what comes next
Whether you’re a new or aspiring director seeking qualifications, an established director planning their next move, or a highly experienced leader ready to give back to the director community, the AICD meets you where you are and gives you the tools and resources for where you want to go.
Membership connects you with your own AICD Member Partner, who helps you map out your directorship career and recommends courses, events and resources as you work towards your first board role.
AICD membership gives you the support and knowledge you need as you grow your career—becoming more confident in all areas of governance, and securing subsequent (and paid) board positions.
Having established yourself as a leading director, it’s time to consider your next strategic step. AICD membership helps lay the groundwork for this next phase of your directorship journey.
As a seasoned director with AICD membership, you have the opportunity to enrich the journeys of the next generation of leaders—and influence the future of governance in Australia.
The real-world impact of membership
Becoming an Affiliate signifies your desire to stay informed on governance trends as an area of interest, or your desire to pursue a future directorship career.
Your MAICD post-nominals solidify your commitment to governance in Australia. You’re most likely an aspiring or practicing director, interested in attending events, continuing your professional development and becoming an active member of the AICD community.
This sought-after grade is awarded to graduates of the AICD’s prestigious Company Directors Course™.
Seasoned directors who demonstrate, practice and advocate the values of good governance can apply for the Fellow grade. The AICD may also, at any time, elevate exemplary Members or Graduates to the status of Fellow.
Recognised for their outstanding work and continued contribution to governance during their career, seasoned AICD Fellows are offered the honorary grade of Life Fellow.
Unsure which grade is right for you?
