The benefits of being an IAA member
Regular public meetings with prominent industry speakers
The IAA funds the venue and equipment hire, and often commits to the cost of any appearance fees for expert speakers.
The IAA is a not-for-profit organisation. Membership fees allow the IAA to fund ongoing educational initiatives and provide exclusive services to our community of members.
The IAA is committed to educating the public on the Internet and offers a range of services including free public meetings, conferences, advocacy, government lobbying and more.
Member events are offered across Australia, with web streaming provided for those members interstate or overseas. The IAA negotiates supplier discounts for members on relevant services and products, discounts to related industry events and special offers.
Your ongoing support as a member allows the IAA to fund public Internet initiatives which include:
- Public Education
The IAA is committed to ongoing community education via schools, colleges, and other events such as the internet community hour.
- Member opportunities
The IAA is continually looking for new opportunities for members to promote their products and services to the community.
- Represent industry
The IAA continues to represent the interests of Internet-related businesses and users when government policy is under review or development.
- Media Representation
The IAA strives to provide a balanced representation of the Internet community through the media (news reports, radio news and talkback, television interviews, providing columns to news organisations and magazines)
- Online community representation
The IAA continues to represent the Internet industry on forums.
- Development of Industry Tools
The IAA sets high standards for the Internet industry, evidenced by the creation of the ‘Code of Conduct’ and recommended ‘Acceptable Use’ policies, protecting users from poor service and encouraging participating businesses to strive for continued improvement in service standards.
