Our Emerging Architects and Graduates Network (EmAGN) supports graduates of architecture and emerging architects in their transition from student to industry professionals through a range of programs.
When you join the Institute, you become a part of a design community fostering a culture of architecture, mutual support and idea sharing, and where exciting opportunities at local and national levels await.
Experienced graduates of architecture, non-practicing architects working in non-traditional roles and academics with accredited qualifications, who meet the below criteria are eligible for Associate membership.
Associate eligibility options
You hold an accredited qualification in architecture (Master of Architecture or equivalent) that was obtained more than 5 years ago (2017 or earlier) and you are not yet registered as an architect
or
You have been registered as an architect but are now working in a non-traditional role and your registration status is non-practicing,

As part of our ongoing commitment to improving our membership experience and offerings to all the members we support, we’re simplifying our membership categories for 2023 and beyond, ensuring we continue to meet the evolving needs of the profession.
This is the first phase of our commitment to reviewing our member experience, with a review of the structure of our A+ membership continuing into next year.
Amongst many changes, we’ve reduced our membership categories from 11 to just seven, which more closely reflects the logical progression of an architect’s career journey.
We’re also introducing a range of flexible and affordable options, supporting our members through career and personal life events including recent graduation and registration, parental leave, post-graduate leave and retirement.
*Prices include GST for members in Australia. GST does not apply to fees for members overseas.
