Recognising you at every level

AICD membership grades are designed to reflect the varying degrees of experience—and commitment—that individual leaders and executives bring to the director community.

membership grade

From Affiliate to Life Fellow, AICD membership covers you for the length and breadth of your professional career.

Becoming an Affiliate signifies your desire to stay informed on governance trends without necessarily pursuing a directorship career. 

Members are required to have at least two years’ experience as a director or executive reporting into a board.


You could be a:

  • director of a company or not-for-profit

  • senior government official
  • CEO or part of an executive team
  • business owner/partner
  • advisory board member
  • professor (or equivalent)

  • the head of a relevant faculty (e.g. business, law) at a tertiary institution.

This sought-after grade is awarded to graduates of the AICD’s prestigious Company Directors Course™.

Highly regarded within the AICD as well as the wider director community, the Fellow grade is granted to seasoned directors who, throughout their leadership career, have demonstrated their directorship expertise and contributed significantly to governance in Australia.

Members who meet the criteria are encouraged to apply for their FAICD and gain recognition for their career achievements. 

Find out more about the eligibility criteria and application process 

The AICD may also, at any time, elevate exemplary Members 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.

Being a member of the AICD signals to other directors and the business community that you are a professional in your field, and this is something you are very serious about.
