Registration Benefits
Why do exercise professionals need to register?
Fitness Australia exercise professional registration enhances employability and provides valuable recognition, opportunity and support for more than 24,000 exercise professionals nationwide. The Fitness Australia National Registration Scheme exists because it is the only way to independently demonstrate the exercise professionals are competent and qualified to do their job.
Registration is proof of current competency and demonstrates a commitment to ongoing professional development. By registering, an individual is verifying that he or she has attained the appropriate level of qualification and will engage in professional development during the term of registration. This is an important quality assurance measure for both consumers and employers.
