What's the difference between being an Collective Specialist vs IPA Member?
At Industry Partners Australia (IPA), we’re building a community of leading professionals and specialists united by a shared goal: to strengthen the future of Australian industry.
The professionals we work with—referred to as our "Members"—represent a diverse range of companies. They regularly participate in peer-to-peer learning events and are often seeking support to improve their businesses or departments.
At times, Members request external support in the form of tailored training, consulting, or events focused on specific challenges. This is where our network of expert "Specialists" comes in—providing valuable insight and solutions.
We believe the collaboration between Members and Specialists is essential to the ongoing growth and success of Australian industry. Our mission is to foster and support this vibrant community.
Once I'm a specialist, how do I access the IPA Membership?
We’re proud of our engaged and valuable membership community. While we’d love to offer open access, we prioritise our members’ privacy and aim to protect them from unsolicited sales approaches.
That said, we regularly invite our Specialists to present at events, giving you a fantastic opportunity to share your expertise and connect with industry professionals.
If there’s someone specific you’d like to reach out to, please speak with your local Operations Manager. They’ll be happy to facilitate an introduction—after that, you’re welcome to build the relationship independently.
