What is affiliate membership?
Sometimes you just need HR information or support, without the extras.
As an affiliate member of AHRI, you will have the support and HR resources you need to successfully manage people and HR processes in your organisation.
Who can join?
You do not need to know anything about HR or have a background in the HR profession to apply for affiliate membership. Affiliate members are also not required to undertake continuing professional development.
Affiliate membership is suitable if you
- Have management responsibilities but HR is not your primary function, e.g. line managers, team leaders, small business owners; OR
- Work in HR, but do not yet meet professional membership requirements (MAHRI or FAHRI), and are not eligible for student or graduate (GAHRI) membership.
