RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP IN THREE EASY STEPS!

It’s been a challenging couple of years for business leaders, and ADIA is proud of the support and services we’ve delivered to our members throughout this disrupted period.

While we see some improvement in the operating environment, the pandemic has created new challenges for leaders to manage, not least the return to the office, working in a hybrid environment, staffing shortages and the rise of cyber-security issues and data protection concerns.

ADIA membership in 2022-2023 will help ensure that your organisation remains connected and protected as we continue to provide support, guidance, and protection that no single business can access in isolation across four key areas:

1. Advocacy - ADIA continues to lobby the government on industry issues that matter most to members - Call Blocking, IPND and Procurement and staffing shortages.
2. Quality - Professional development for leaders and their teams continues across the ADIA Academy, an exclusive, online training platform covering HR induction, Leadership, Risk Management and Workplace Relations.
3. Privacy - All members continue to receive protection, training and expert advice working under Australia’s only industry-registered APP Privacy Code, specifically designed for a market and social research.
4. Workplace/Legal - Andrew Maher, Partner, CIE Legal, continues to deliver a free, unlimited privacy and workplace relations telephone hotline along with a new (proposed) multi-enterprise UWU and ADIA Market and Social Research Industry Agreement 2022-2026.

For upcoming services, keep a look out for the following announcements:

• A new Market and Social Research Industry Agreement with the Union of Workers United (UWU) - all relevant (Agreement signatory) members have received the proposed Agreement. See Wage rates for July 1 2022.  
• New monthly content on the ADIA Academy 
• The 2023 Leaders Forum (to be held in Melbourne) - ADIA’s five-star invitation-only event for industry leaders.
