Build trust and visibility
Endorsement signals to professionals that your program meets industry expectations and supports meaningful professional growth.
We encourage Community Work Australia members to complete at least 20 hours of CPD each year. Endorsed training gives members assurance that your program counts towards their development goals — and meets professional needs.

Endorsement is a public declaration that you value quality - it demonstrates to students and employers that your training meets the expectations of the industry. Community Work Australia endorsement is nationally recognised and indicates that a program meets the industry standard.
What types of training can be endorsed?
We endorse a wide range of continuing professional development activities that support the delivery of quality community services. These may include:
- Workshops or webinars
- Short courses
- Conferences
- Online or in-house training
What are the benefits?
Once endorsed, you can use the Community Work Australia Endorsed badge and gain exposure to our growing network of professionals. We’ll list your training on our website and alert our subscribers periodically of new training listings. While we don’t market endorsed courses directly, we will support and complement your own promotional efforts where possible.
What does endorsement cost?
The application fee is $250 per activity, with discounts available for bulk submissions (more than 3 programs). Endorsement is valid for 12 months.
You’ll need to submit the following documents with your application:
- An active website link for the program or course offered
- Trainer or presenter resumes
- A detailed program outline
