Members in Australia are invited to join one of the ICAEW Member Groups to keep up to date with regional events and networking opportunities. We have a global network of contact members who can provide on-the-ground know-how for ICAEW members wishing to move to the region, and for those already living there. You can also connect with your ICAEW Council Members, or speak to your ICAEW team directly.
