See what some of our long-term members say about EIANZ membership
Being a member of EIANZ is essential for all environmental practitioners. It provides professional development opportunities and a forum for networking with peers which allows the practitioner to stay current and relevant. The EIANZ is a voice for the profession that enables the community and other stakeholders to better understand the importance of our work. If you are not a member, I encourage you to be one and make that broader commitment to our profession. I am sure EIANZ will introduce you to new friends, colleagues and employers.

I joined EIANZ as a second-year undergraduate environmental science student at Sydney University and have been an active member ever since. While I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do in my career, EIANZ opened my eyes to the vast opportunities available. A highlight for me at the time was mentoring, where I got some great career advice from very senior practitioners. Since then, EIANZ has been the one constant throughout my career, through university, as a consultant and now with the Australian Government. I've met some great friends and had lots of fun along the way too!

I became a member because the (then) newly-formed EIA offered a professional ‘home’ for a wide range of skilled practitioners seeking to manage and enhance the natural environment, and to understand and minimise the impacts of development. Now that our Institute is EIANZ, and has grown and embraced a commitment to excellence and professional development, membership is even more important if we are to raise practice standards and gain the community’s trust as a profession.
