Member benefits
What membership actually gets you.
The PIPA member badge
Members show their professionalism with the PIPA member badge. QPIA graduates receive the accredited version, which signals a tested standard rather than a paid subscription.
The member directory
Being listed in the PIPA directory puts you in front of consumers actively looking for an adviser they can trust, and reinforces your commitment to ethical practice.
Advocacy that carries weight
PIPA advocates for excellence, transparency and integrity across the sector, and members give that voice its authority.
The Code of Conduct
Members follow the industry code and collaborate with government bodies to support regulation that protects property investors.
Learning and accreditation
Members who achieve QPIA accreditation raise their professional standing and appear on the accredited register.
A direct voice
PIPA reports on the issues that matter and actively seeks member feedback, so members shape what the association does next.

Available only to those who have completed the PIPA Accreditation Program, and held alongside an individual or corporate membership.
Corporate membership
One membership, priced by the size of your team.
A corporate membership covers your whole firm under one account. There are three levels. Above Level 2 the cover grows in blocks of five people, so a firm pays for the team it actually has rather than jumping a whole band. Every figure below includes GST.
Blocks are sold in fives, so a team of 23 buys one block and has room for 25. Add a block part way through the year and you pay only the remainder of that year.
Level 1, up to 10 people
$795
a year, GST included
Covers up to 10 people, which is $79.50 each.
The three levels
| Level | People covered | A year | Each person |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 1 to 10 people | $795 | $79.50 at 10 people |
| Level 2 | 11 to 20 people | $1,395 | $69.75 at 20 people |
| Level 3 | Unlimited | $8,800 | Falls as the firm grows |
Above Level 2, cover is added in blocks of five people at $330 for each block. From 21 to 130 people a firm buys the blocks it needs. At 131 people, Level 3 Unlimited is the lower price.
Examples above Level 2
| People covered | Membership | A year | Each person |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | Level 2 plus 1 block of five | $1,725 | $69.00 |

| 60 | Level 2 plus 8 blocks of five | $4,035 | $67.25 |
