Invest in Your Organisation. Invest in Your People.

The AIH Corporate Professional Membership is a premium organisational membership created for businesses, consultancies, local government, education providers, botanic gardens and industry organisations that recognise their people as their greatest professional asset.

For an annual investment of $2,500 plus GST, your organisation receives AIH Corporate Membership together with organisation-sponsored professional memberships for all eligible employees or teaching staff while they remain employed by your organisation.

There is no limit to the number of eligible staff who may apply.
Employees and teaching staff who satisfy the relevant membership requirements may apply for membership as either an AIH Horticulturist or Registered Horticulturist (RH), gaining professional recognition through Australia’s leading professional horticultural institute while remaining part of your organisation.

This innovative membership model enables organisations to invest directly in their workforce, strengthen professional capability, encourage lifelong learning and Continuing Professional Development, attract and retain talented staff, and demonstrate a genuine commitment to advancing horticulture across Australia.

Unlike traditional corporate memberships, AIH Corporate Professional Membership invests directly in your people through organisation-sponsored professional memberships.

• Includes AIH Corporate Membership.
• Membership of the Horticultural Education Alliance
• Unlimited organisation-sponsored professional memberships for eligible employees and teaching staff.
• Recognition as an organisation committed to professional excellence and ethical practice.
• A stronger professional profile within Australia’s horticultural industry.
• Improved staff attraction, engagement and retention through professional recognition.
• Access to AIH publications, technical resources, networking opportunities and national events.
• Support for Continuing Professional Development and lifelong learning.
• A visible commitment to sustainability, environmental stewardship and Plants, People and Planet.

Organisation-sponsored professional memberships are available to eligible employees and teaching staff who satisfy the normal requirements for either:
Horticulturist, or Registered Horticulturist (RH).

Applicants must meet the qualification, industry experience and assessment criteria applicable to their chosen membership category. Individual membership remains current while the member:

• Remains employed by the Corporate Professional Member;
• Continues to meet AIH membership requirements;
• complies with the AIH Rules, Code of Ethics and applicable policies; and
• Maintains Continuing Professional Development where required.
• Where employment ceases, the organisation-sponsored professional membership concludes and may be transferred to an appropriate individual AIH membership category in accordance with AIH membership procedures.

AIH Corporate Professional Membership is more than an organisational affiliation—it is a strategic investment in professional people.
By providing organisation-sponsored professional memberships, your organisation demonstrates leadership, supports workforce capability, enhances its professional reputation and contributes to a stronger, more connected and more sustainable horticultural profession.

AIH Corporate Professional Membership provides organisational membership together with access for eligible employees or teaching staff to hold AIH professional membership classifications whilst employed by the organisation.
