Professional Affiliations

The National Institute of Accountants (NIA) is a professional organisation for accountants recognised for their practical, hands-on skills and a broad understanding of the total business environment.

The NIA is a progressive, responsive accounting body committed to integrity, professionalism and professional development. It represents more than 22,000 members and students working in industry, commerce, government, academia and private practice.

Since 1943, the Taxation Institute of Australia, has provided Members and the tax profession with extensive learning tools and an enormous knowledge base that has derived from practitioner driven education seminars, conventions, publications and the Structured Education Program. The Institute's website also offers Members access to over a decade's worth of content.

Today, with more than 15,000 Members, the Institute is Australia's premier professional tax body. Membership reflects this and includes a comprehensive cross section of leading tax accountants, lawyers, tax agents, managers and academics.

The Institute provides an extensive range of information and education services to Members as well as unique networking opportunities. Members are encouraged to become actively involved with the Institute and therefore, many of the products and services offered through the Institute come about from direct feedback from practitioners needs. The organisation's diverse nature, ability to provide an active forum and awareness of what is happening in the profession is its greatest strength, ensuring services that meet Members' wide ranging requirements.
