If you’re studying health and safety at University or in a VET course, or you’re a student who is thinking about a career in health and safety, the Australian Institute of Health and Safety (AIHS) strongly encourages you to become a student member. Student membership is a great way to begin to build your professional networks, and connect with experienced practitioners and professionals.
The Institute contains experienced health and safety professionals who provide support and advice to colleagues through a range of peer support networks and programs including regional networks and branches, special interest groups and mentorship.
Membership provides you access to an extensive range of education and professional development – either free or at heavily discounted member rates - that includes conferences, seminars, webinars and AIHS endorsed training courses.
Professional networks (both formal and informal) are a critical part of career advancement, and our programs are designed to bring people together across the field, to build those connections.
