Work with us

The AIH is over 65 years old! This is a significant age for the only organisation that represents all sectors of horticulture in Australia. 

Our mission is to bring together the expertise within the horticulture sectors to provide a collective voice for advocacy on behalf of the industry.

AIH has a substantial membership base reaching 1000 members and subscribers that span Australia and overseas. 

The AIH invites you to share our stated vision and support our purpose as a not-for-profit organisation operating in the horticulture industry.

Partner with the Australian Institute of Horticulture (AIH) 

We are a not-for-profit organisation committed to promoting sustainable horticultural practices that benefit Plants, People and Planet. Through our advocacy and leadership, we champion the vital role horticulture plays in enhancing community health and wellbeing while contributing to a healthier, more sustainable future for our planet. 
Our strategic direction is centred on education, environmental leadership, collaboration and organisational sustainability. Through initiatives such as AIH Future Voices, the Registered Horticulturist CPD program, AIH Endorsements and strengthened partnerships across Australia and internationally, AIH is supporting professional recognition, industry standards and the development of the next generation of horticultural leaders. 
The Institute’s focus remains clear: to support its members, build meaningful partnerships and help shape a healthier, greener future for Australia and beyond.
By becoming an AIH sponsor, you can showcase your commitment to sustainability, industry excellence, and community support while accessing a wide range of benefits for your business.

Benefits to your Business through Sponsorship 

Enhanced Reputation: 

Sponsorship and commitment to the professionalism of the horticulture industry demonstrates your company’s social responsibility and community involvement. Aligning with the AIH will help build trust and goodwill among your customers, employees, the horticulture industry and the community at large.

Brand Visibility: 

Choosing to sponsor AIH will provide opportunities for exposure of your products and/or services through various channels such as events, awards, our Registered Horticulturist recognition program, marketing and promotional materials, and our advanced online platform. The increased visibility will help raise your brand awareness and attract new customers or supporters.

Access to Target Audiences: 

AIH has a dedicated and engaged audience of over 700 members who share similar values and interests. We will provide access to our members allowing you to connect with potential customers or supporters who will be aligned with your services through your valued sponsorship of AIH.

Networking Opportunities: 

Your sponsorship of our events and/or programs will provide valuable networking opportunities for your business. AIH events bring together like-minded individuals and allied organisations, offering you a chance to connect with potential partners, clients, or collaborators.

Employee Engagement and Morale: 

Support for AIH will boost employee morale and engagement by demonstrating the company’s commitment to social causes. Your employees will show pride in a company that supports meaningful initiatives, leading to increased job satisfaction and loyalty.

Fulfillment of Corporate Social Responsibility: 

By supporting our principles relating to environmental sustainability, horticultural based education, continuing professional development and ethical business practices, your company will be demonstrating your commitment to making a positive impact on society.

Opportunities for Skills-Based Volunteering: 

In addition to financial sponsorship, your company may also provide support through skills-based volunteering. This will allow your employees to share their skills and knowledge with AIH members through various professional development activities. This aids AIH and your company to foster a sense of fulfillment and teamwork within both of our entities.

Importantly, sponsoring AIH provides a strategic and fulfilling manner in which your business may support our Institute purpose while also reaping various tangible and intangible benefits for your company.
