What we do for members

Deliver high quality CPD
ASA’s CPD program takes the stress out of calculating and registering your points, which means you can focus solely on your learning and professional development and watch the points tally automatically in your MY CPD dashboard.
Our ever-expanding on demand online learning library is constantly being updated with new webinars, CPD tests, educational videos, Online Learning Modules, podcasts and more. Prefer to learn face-to-face? There are CPD events being added to our calendar regularly, covering a multitude of speciality streams, experience level and location. So, no matter how you like to earn your CPD points, we have you covered.
Sonographer Advocacy
As our profession continues to grow and change, the ASA is committed to advocating for sonographers, working towards ensuring long-term sustainability and advancement of the sonography profession. We are consistently working behind the scenes to positively influence policy direction, and address the key issues of sonographer workforce shortages and regulation.
NEW: Free HR Advice and Support
Access unlimited, confidential workplace advice from HR professionals through HR Advice Online. Support is available via phone and email, Monday to Friday, covering contracts, pay, workplace rights, performance issues and more — included in your membership at no extra cost.
Additional benefits
