The Auctioneers and Valuers Association of Australia (AVAA) provides an Associate Membership pathway for professionals with ties to the auctioneering or valuation sector, as well as those beginning their careers as auctioneers or valuers.

AVAA Associate Membership is ideal for people who are newly entering auctioneering or valuation roles, as well as professionals in related businesses—such as insurers, law firms, logistics providers, technology platforms, marketing specialists, or training organisations—who work closely with and support the sector.

This is also a great pathway for those actively working towards becoming an AVAA Certified Practising Auctioneer or an AVAA Certified Practising Valuer in the medium-term.

If you are a current, experienced auctioneer or valuer with strong professional standing, the better option is to apply to become an AVAA Certified Practising Auctioneer or an AVAA Certified Practising Valuer. Associate Membership is designed as an entry / affiliated pathway, not an AVAA Certified Practising credential.

For assistance with your application or questions concerning eligibility, contact the AVAA Membership Team via email at membership@avaa.com.au or telephone 1300 928 165.

AVAA Membership – It’s a great time to get involved.
