AUSactive Registered Professional

AUSactive - Fitness Australia

In Australia, it is not a legal requirement for Personal Trainers to be registered with a governing body to work in the Fitness Industry (exception being the ACT).

Adam of ACR Movement has chosen to register, and has maintained professional registration as an exercise professional for over a decade with AUSactive.  AUSactive is Australia’s peak body for the fitness industry. Holding registration with AUSactive is one of the best ways to demonstrate to clients and the public an exercise professional credibility within the fitness industry.

AUSactive Registered Exercise Professional must have completed a relevant qualification and hold current nationally recognized first aid and CPR certification.  AUSactive Registered Professional must maintain compliance with all applicable legislation, codes of practice, best practice protocols, policies, and guidelines put in place by state and federal governments as well as AUSactive itself.

Registered AUSactive Professional must participate in ongoing professional development to maintain currency of skills and knowledge through approved continuing education.  Obtaining Continuing Education Credits (CECs) must take place over the course of each registration period.  Not all registration organizations for the fitness industry require ongoing professional development to maintain registration.  As the fitness industry is still relatively self-regulated and professional development being optional, it is understandable that credibility issues and public doubt into the legitimacy of the industry remain.
