Members

The International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) Australasia is the only professional association that represents people who implement or participate in public decision making processes.

IAP2 Members are diverse, creative and inspiring people who work at the cutting edge of community engagement. They believe that people have a right to have a say in decisions that impact their lives and share a commitment to the values that underpin a quality public participation process.

Our Member Contract

IAP2’s commitment to Members is to advance the practice and to be the leader in the field of public participation through vibrant membership and dynamic learning.
