Member Benefits

ACHPER membership offers many benefits to individuals in addition to joining a dedicated group of professionals and being part of an active and committed organisation. Being a member of this strong professional body allows individuals the opportunity to contribute and grow professionally through areas of focus in a range of educational and community settings.

ACHPER advocates for the professional growth and interests of its members and focus areas of Health, Physical Education, Sport, Recreation & Dance. ACHPER collaborates with a range of agencies to improve the standing and environment in which its members work as professionals. Each of the focus areas has a standing directorate which monitor, review, discuss, share ideas and advise on developments in the focus areas. Directorates coordinate training and development for ACHPER members and those with an interest in the wider community, discuss pertinent issues relevant to their area, and maintain an active interest in ACHPER activities and publications. Training and development programs are developed so members can develop their skills and gain appropriate accreditation.

All members receive a discount to State based quality professional development activities to develop personal skills, ranging from small Workshops, Seminars to State Conferences.
