A medical, GP, specialist, dental, allied health practice or community health centre which delivers health care may apply to become a Practice Member. This membership encourages multiple persons within a single practice to participate in the services and benefits of AAPM. Subscriptions are based on the number of sites operating under each parent company. Practice membership remains with the business, irrespective of staff changes. One manager per site may be nominated as the key contact for that site and an additional login can be provided. The key contact is eligible to apply for scholarships and awards.

Educational requirements: AAPM recommends ongoing commitment to AAPM’s Professional Development Program.
