Professionalising procurement and contract management in Australia
At AAPCM
The Australian Association of Procurement and Contract Management is an Australian organisation established to provide support and recognition for Australian procurement professionals working in Government, Local Government and private enterprise. At AAPCM, we are all about actively promoting the professionalisation of Procurement and Contract Management in Australia.
AAPCM supports and encourages the uptake of AQF qualifications in procurement. AAPCM recognises for membership purposes the AQF qualifications issued by all Australian RTOs. AAPCM members also have access to discounted vocational education qualifications through our partner RTOs, professional development programs and recognition of their Procurement or Contract Management skills through a formal certification framework. AAPCM certification provides skills recognition and status to members and confidence to employers.
Foundation memberships of AAPCM have now closed.
