College membership is a condition of fellowship and the use of the post-nominals FANZCA or FFPMANZCA. It gives you access to an extensive range of resources and activities designed to support you at every stage in your career and help you meet your continuing professional development (CPD) requirements.

All fellows enjoy a wide range of member benefits, which we'd encourage you to explore. The following pages feature activities, advice, and opportunities that we think will be of particular interest at this point in your professional journey, including a few we've developed especially with our new fellows in mind.
