Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM)

The Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) is the peak body for project management in Australia. Formed in 1976, as the Project Managers' Forum, the AIPM has been instrumental in progressing the profession of project management over the past 25 years ....

... and the profession is growing rapidly – a quick review of the employment pages reveals just how diversified our profession has become. For example, job advertisements featuring project management as an accounting skill almost doubled between 1999 and 2000 and a Project Manager in the IT sector is one of the highest paying technical positions in the industry. The number of positions which specify project management skills as a pre-requisite or “desirable” have doubled in the past 18 months.

The AIPM’s role is to improve the knowledge, skills and competence of project team members, project managers and project directors, all of whom play a key role in the achievement of business objectives, not just project objectives. The AIPM also aims to ensure that those involved at other levels in an organisation and the community generally, understand the key role of project management in today's society.
