An opportunity is now open to help shape the future of valuation and auctioneering through the national committees convened by the Auctioneers and Valuers Association of Australia (AVAA). Certified valuers and auctioneers are invited to express interest in contributing their experience, influencing national priorities and turning practical ideas into action that strengthens professional practice and supports the sector’s continued development across the nation.
Expressions of interest are being sought for the AVAA Government Affairs Committee, AVAA Membership and Professional Standards Committee, and AVAA Continuing Professional Development Committee. Each offers a different way to contribute, with a shared purpose of strengthening professional practice and ensuring AVAA’s work reflects the realities of running businesses and serving clients today.
Valuers and auctioneers who have thought about how the sector could work better now have a chance to put those ideas into practice. Your experience might reveal a regulatory problem requiring attention, a professional challenge needing clearer guidance, or an education opportunity that could help colleagues develop their skills further.
Through the AVAA Government Affairs Committee, members can help shape AVAA’s advocacy and identify issues requiring engagement with governments and regulators. Practitioners bring something essential to these discussions. They understand how policy decisions affect transactions, clients and businesses, and where practical experience can help produce more workable outcomes across the sector.
The AVAA Membership and Professional Standards Committee provides an opportunity to influence the expectations that underpin credibility through the development of the AVAA Professional Standards. Its work connects membership with competence, accountability and public confidence. Contributing means helping AVAA develop an approach that recognises professional expertise while supporting members to meet the responsibilities that come with their credentials.
Through the AVAA Continuing Professional Development Committee, members can help shape learning that responds to the questions practitioners actually face. Ideas drawn from client work, emerging asset classes and changing business conditions can inform relevant education. Members have an opportunity to influence how professional knowledge is shared and developed across Australia.
Together, these committees reflect AVAA’s member-driven approach. The Association’s direction draws strength from people willing to contribute their judgement, share their knowledge and consider the interests of the wider profession. Committee service gives that principle practical meaning, connecting the experience of individual members with the decisions that guide national work.
Certified Valuers And Auctioneers Taking A Leadership Role –
Your AVAA Certified Valuer (CVAu) or AVAA Certified Auctioneer (CAAu) credential connects you with a professional community shaping the sector’s future. Serving on an AVAA national committee gives you a direct opportunity to turn experience into influence, ideas into action and professional pride into lasting improvements. Help shape the standards, advocacy and education that strengthen recognition of valuers and auctioneers across Australia today.
AVAA’s ability to transform the sector grows when that experience informs a coordinated national agenda. Advocacy can address barriers affecting practice. Standards can strengthen confidence in professional services. Education can build capability. Members who contribute help connect these activities, giving the Association greater reach and a stronger foundation for action.
Practitioners considering AVAA membership can see what belonging to an engaged, connected and influential community of certified valuers and certified auctioneers makes possible here. Membership creates opportunities to participate in the conversations shaping their working environment and contribute to the profession’s development. The time commitment is manageable: one webinar meeting each quarter, plus email correspondence to support the committee’s ongoing work.
Expressions of interest to participate in the AVAA national committees remain open until 30 November 2026. If you have ideas about the future of valuation or auctioneering, consider bringing them forward. Your contribution will help shape AVAA’s priorities, improve support for fellow practitioners and put practical experience to work for the benefit of the whole professional community.
