Membership Tiers

Membership Tiers

The registration framework for exercise, fitness and active health professionals is a system to establish standards for certification, training, and professional conduct of trainers, instructors, and other related professionals. Registration provides a level of assurance to consumers that exercise, fitness and active health professionals are meeting industry standards for training and qualifications. 

AUSactive was the pioneer in the establishment of an industry-led registration system, offering consumer protection, while allowing for greater transparency and accountability in the services provided by fitness professionals in Australia. Today we are the peak industry body for the registration of exercise, fitness and active health professionals in Australia. 

  • The two-tier model of registration features: 
    • Accredited Professionals – distinguished by their commitment to continuous professional development, these individuals are recognised for meeting a higher standard and will be granted enhanced access to exclusive tools, resources & benefits and private health fund rebates.
      • This applies to all AUSactive members professionals who complete the existing membership requirements (including First Aid and CPR) together with the prescribed number of CPD points (20 over 2 rolling years). 
      • The 2-years is a rolling period, which means the CPD points will have been completed within the previous 2-year period (not specifically attached to a membership/subscription period) 
    • Registered Professionals – have completed the minimum foundation education requirements for membership without the need for mandated continuous professional development.  
      • This includes as a minimum a nationally recognised industry qualification, valid First Aid, CPR and self or business insurance certification.
  • The registration options will be a choice for AUSactive members.
