The New Year is associated with resolutions – to learn new skills, improve in some manner, conquer weaknesses….One common resolution is to become more healthy and many a gym membership has been entered into on the basis of such New Year fervour.

However, becoming a member of a gym does not improve fitness and health unless you actually make use of the membership.  The amount of effort invested is the key to a successful outcome.

Membership of the Institute works along similar lines.  Being a member will not automatically confer value, although your subscription does support the Institute’s policy and advocacy work.  This is of particular significance in light of the federal election due later in 2016.  Watch this space for more information as the year progresses.

Those members who actively engage with the Institute tend to be those who most value their membership.  So, register for PALs, enter the awards, vote in the Chapter Council elections or engage in one of the many CPD and event activities.

We look forward to working with you in 2016 to develop your ‘professional fitness’ and the collective health of the profession.
