AHPA Membership

As a member-based organisation, it is important for AHPA to provide a range of membership categories that support equity and inclusion. Members are vital to achieving our vision of a healthy, equitable Australia. Below is a range of membership categories available to support anyone who would like to be involved with the Association. The categories reflect the current and future health promotion workforce, organisations working in health promotion, and contributors/friends to health promotion. If you are unsure which membership type you should select or if you are experiencing any hardship, please do not hesitate to contact the Secretariat at [email protected].

Please note, all membership types are chosen at the time of payment. Changing membership type or refunding membership is not feasible partway through.
