Membership Survey

It is time for the AICCM bi-annual membership survey. The inaugural survey was in 2016 and now we will be able to start comparing data over time. The purpose of the survey is to register the priority of the AICCM against membership interest. It is a formal channel through which members can provide feedback to the National Council over a range of issues.

The demographics collected relate to time in the profession, education received and task load at work, and are used to compare members’ priorities at different stages of their careers.

Take the survey now
