What is the Australian Payroll Association?

The Australian Payroll Association was established in 2010 by Tracy Agwin, CEO (Chief Executive Officer). The APA started with a publication called Payroll News and has since established itself as the leader in payroll training, recruitment, and consulting services in Australia. The APA supports payroll teams nationwide of any size and industry. They offer guidance gathered from an in-depth knowledge of the sector.

APA also offers Australia's first national payroll qualifications, the Certificate IV in Payroll Administration and the Diploma of Payroll Management through The Australian Payroll Institute. The qualifications are part of the Australian Qualifications Framework, which enables the payroll industry to attract new talent and raise its professional standards. They also offer Payroll Leadership Training and payroll knowledge assessments.
