One membership. A whole profession behind you.
AITD is the not-for-profit institute for Australia's learning and development professionals. Membership puts the Capability Framework, monthly webinars, local events in every state, mentoring and a national network of peers behind your work, for a fee we have held steady for years. See the full list of member benefits.
Why people join
You are often the only L&D person in the room. Many members are the sole learning specialist in their workplace. AITD connects you with practitioners who face the same problems, in your state, in your sector and online, through local events, our LinkedIn community of practice and the Mentoring Program.
Development that adds up. Plan your growth against the AITD Capability Framework, track it through the CPD Program, and build it with monthly webinars, short courses at member rates and self-paced courses included in your membership.
Recognition that travels with you. Use the MAITD post-nominal, work towards Associate Fellow and Fellow, and put your work forward for the AITD Excellence Awards.
What is included
- Monthly webinars with L&D experts, included in membership ($45 each for non-members)
- Up to 20% off AITD courses, and AITD self-paced courses included ($110 each for non-members)
- Up to 30% off the AITD National Conference
- Local events across Australia at member rates, many at no cost
- The Mentoring Program, the Member Directory and Training & Development magazine
- Discounted professional indemnity insurance and no-cost job ads on the L&D Jobs Board
