Benefits of Joining the Australian Institute of Company Directors
The origins of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) can be traced back to the United Kingdom’s Institute of Directors, formed by Royal Charter in 1906. Branches appeared in the Australian states in the 1960s, and in 1990 these eventually merged to form the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
The AICD’s aim is to be a key influencer in the creation of world-leading governance laws and practices in Australia and a key player in achieving world-leading performance of Australian boards and directors, including the application of governance principles.
The Australian Institute of Company Directors is committed to excellence in governance. They make a positive impact on society and the economy through governance education, director development and advocacy. The membership of more than 36,000 includes directors and senior leaders from business, government and the not-for-profit sectors.
