The Australian Institute of Office Professionals (AIOP) is Australia’s only professional organisation for office professionals and covers many roles including PA’s, EA’s, Administrators, Office Managers and many more positions that work in the field of Administration. With the word Member of AIOP on your resume, it can take you to a higher level as employers see that you are serious about your career. Attending functions at any of our Divisions or Branches around Australia will keep you updated with the latest trends with loads of very useful and informative information to assist you in your increasingly busier roles.

Since 1963 AIOP has gone through many changes to become what it is today and it is now primarily involved with improving the profile of office professionals in the business community and increasing our members’ educational levels.

Academy³ students of Business Administration receive 12 months full membership of AIOP.¹
