About Us

IPMA-Australia is a pioneering association dedicated to advancing project management across our nation.

In May 2024, IPMA-Australia was endorsed as a Member Association of the International Project Management Association (IPMA) and after an absence of several years, Australia is once again represented as a partner in the international project management community.

IPMA-Australia is the coming together of several international & national project management & organisational development entities. IPMA-Australia is part of a global federation of over 70 project management member associations situated across the world.

In an era where effective project management is crucial for success in various sectors, IPMA-Australia aims to be the two-way conduit for connecting international practices and local needs bi-directionally.
