IPMA-Australia ….Connecting International project practices to Australia
We are proud to announce the official launch of IPMA-Australia, a pioneering association dedicated to advancing project management across our nation. In May this year, 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.
Our vision is clear: to facilitate advocacy, thought leadership, and professional development in project management by acting as a conduit between Australia and global best practices.
Why IPMA-Australia?
In a landscape filled with various like-organisations, what sets IPMA-Australia apart?

Connecting International Practices
Advocacy and Thought Leadership
Professional Development Opportunities including internationally recognized & endorsed certification
Networking and Community Building
Connecting International Practices
One of the standout features of IPMA-Australia is our focus on international perspectives in project management. WE are part of an international affiliation.
While many organisations provide valuable resources, we differentiate ourselves by emphasising global best practices tailored specifically for the Australian context.

Imagine having access to a network of global experts who can share their experiences and insights. By connecting with international project management communities, you’ll be equipped with the tools and knowledge necessary to tackle complex challenges and drive successful outcomes in your projects.

We will engage with policymakers, industry leaders, and educational institutions to promote best practices and elevate the status of project management as a critical discipline. Our thought leadership initiatives will include webinars, workshops, and publications that feature both evidence-based and practice-based insights from practitioners, industry experts and thought leaders. These resources will empower you with the latest trends, tools, and techniques in project management, enabling you to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving field.

A key aspect of IPMA-Australia is our commitment to professional development. We recognise that continuous learning is essential for career advancement in the dynamic, ever-changing field of project management.
