Organisational Membership

Organisational Membership is designed for organisations that value evidence, learning and continuous improvement.

Whether your organisation commissions evaluations, manages programs and services, funds initiatives, conducts research, or relies on evidence to inform decision-making, AES membership connects you with a national community dedicated to quality evaluation and better outcomes.

We recognise that for many organisations, evaluation may not be their core business, but it is essential to demonstrating impact, meeting accountability requirements, informing strategy, improving services and supporting effective investment decisions. Organisational Membership provides access to knowledge, networks and professional expertise that can strengthen your organisation's evaluation capability and use of evidence.

As an Organisational Member, your organisation demonstrates its commitment to high-quality evaluation, ethical practice and evidence-informed decision-making. You will be part of a community that advances evaluation theory, practice and use across Australia, while gaining opportunities to connect with experienced practitioners, commissioners, researchers and thought leaders from a wide range of sectors.

Organisational Membership is suitable for organisations that commission, manage or use evaluation, including:

Organisations from the following sectors can apply:

• Not-for-profit organisations/NGO's
• Indigenous managed community organisations NFP
• Academic departments or research units (who commission evaluations)
• Government departments (who commission evaluations)
