The Year That Was
Membership
In 2015, the Association saw its membership reach record levels. At the end
of the year overall membership stood at 6929, up 6.57 per cent on 2014;
and 18.8 per cent from the 5833 in 2013.
Along with an increase in overall membership, practising membership
continues to grow, reaching 6021 in 2015, up from 5567 in 2014. A slight
decline in student membership occurred, down 28 from 694 in 2014.
Reference should be made to the table below that charts the rise in the
Association’s membership over the last five years.
2015 saw Speech Pathology Australia move home, launch a landmark project about the
future of the speech pathology profession, and grow its membership to record levels.
In short, another year of high achievement.
