Are you eligible to become a Company member?
While the ACMA supports the development of member companies to improve their professionalism and competitiveness, it’s a firm belief of the board that membership alone, should benchmark the business as a “Quality” firm with sound ethics and industry recognition of their ability.
In support of this stance, it is a requirement that all company or Sole Trader members must have a minimum of 12 months operating experience. Applicants with fewer than 12 months of trading history are welcome to join as associate members until such time as they have accumulated the prerequisite experience.
Company membership applies to their nominated representative only, not all staff.
Applicants should note that it is also a requirement of the ACMA that all modelling and detailing projects are completed using only licensed cad software. In light of this requirement, your application must include;
