Whatever your ambition, wherever you are in your career, CA ANZ can help you achieve your goals. In addition to the recognition the CA designation provides, you’re also entitled to many benefits available exclusively to CA ANZ members. 

These resources can help you perform your role better, and develop your skills and knowledge to unlock future career opportunities. 

Professional development assessment

Lifelong learning is a quality baked into the CA designation and it’s key to your career progression opportunities. Unsure where to focus your professional development? The CA Capability+ assessment provides instant feedback on both your strengths and capability gaps. 

CA ANZ education courses

Wherever you are in your career, these flexible, on-demand learning options will help you stay informed and develop practical skills. There are free and paid options, all designed specifically for CAs. Many of our courses include real-world case studies with outcomes you can apply directly to your clients or organisation. The courses are also a way to undertake CPD to improve your performance in your current role or expand your capabilities for future positions.

Responding to member demand, we’ve recently added courses on sustainability, plus a certificate and micro courses on AI – two areas where CAs who upskill will be well placed to lead their organisations.   

CA Library

The latest Master Tax Guide, articles from today’s Australian Financial Review, the latest updates about Excel and AI – your CA Library member access provides a huge range of relevant resources. Last financial year, members downloaded 28,545 resources including ebooks and audiobooks, and accessed 37,580 articles covering everything from the latest tax changes to personal development. Our professional business librarians also provided members with 715 hours of research through the complimentary research service, helping them to drill down into areas of particular interest.

Acuity magazine

Acuity magazine will help you keep pace with new ideas, insight and foresight in the world of economics, business and finance. Your reading also contributes to your CPD.

LinkedIn Learning

As a CA ANZ member, you have complimentary access to LinkedIn Learning: expert-led content that would normally cost more than $350 a year, spanning business technology and creative skills.

Career transition

Whether you’re aiming for a promotion or to take your career in a different direction, the Career Transition Resources and Services provides a toolkit of practical resources, plus a list of approved career coaches.

Specialisation pathways

Specialising in a field such as risk, business valuation or forensic accounting can enhance your brand and help you attract more referrals from clients and other professionals. CA ANZ specialisations offer formal recognition in your chosen field.

Global alliances

A CA designation opens the door to many overseas opportunities. Our offices in Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and London provide a network of international support.

Grow a smaller practice

One in five of our members run a smaller practice and, in the FY2024, more than 3300 members registered for our exclusive ‘Shark Tank’ style pitch nights. This is just one of the tailored technical, professional and business resources available to members who would like to grow their smaller practice. On the Smaller Practices Centre, you’ll also find opportunities to collaborate, network and gain access to representative committees.

Professional standards support

Accountants are governed by complex and fast-changing regulations, ethical guidelines and industry expectations. It’s no surprise that the professional standards team is so popular, answering 2997 calls in FY2024. The team consists of experienced CA members who can help clarify your obligations and provide practical advice by phone or email. Read more about them here.

Member groups

When like-minded professionals share their knowledge and experiences everyone can benefit. Our special interest groups bring people together to discuss specific technical areas and broader topics such as women in business, information technology and accounting for not-for-profits. You can even strengthen your public speaking and presentation skills at the CA ANZ Toastmasters Group.

Collaboration

The member portal, My CA, provides more opportunities for networking and collaboration with special interest and regional groups. 

Mentoring

The CA Career Mentoring program helps you connect with the CA community, build your brand and advance you career with the support of an experienced professional.

Taking care of your wellbeing

The world of accounting and finance can be stressful and demanding, taking a toll on your mental and physical health. The resources you’ll find at CA Wellbeing will help you to support your own wellbeing, along with those of clients and colleagues. Last financial year, 2367 members reached out for help.
