Becoming a member of a Professional Association can provide you valuable support and options throughout your time at University and also moving into your life as a new Graduate.

There are many professional bodies that exist and may suit your specific interest area and we encourage you to research these independently.

There are, however a couple that we support actively in promoting events to our students, and they offer free membership to UniSA students.
