About Membership 

Support the Institute that represents you and the conveyancing profession and strives to maintain and improve a wide range of services that benefit both Members and the community.

The AIC is the peak professional body for conveyancers with more than 1500 members nationally. The SA Division represents over 330 registered conveyancers located across the state.We offer comprehensive consumer  advice, represent the professional interests of registered conveyancers, and play an important role in the continuing development and education of our members.

The Institute's vision is "To foster, promote and advance the Conveyancing profession" and at the 2007 Annual General meeting it was voted that the vision could be better acheived by opening up membership to those working in or having an interest in being kept up to date with industry news.  This includes Water Traders, Lawyers, Accountants, Real Estate Agents and Banks and staff working within these businesses.

By encouaging a wider range of organisations, that work in these related industries, to be members we have a the opportunity to create a greater understanding of conveyancers and conveyancing work and to foster understanding and best practice through ongoing professional development and education.

To ensure that Registered Conveyancers retain control of their Institute voting rights will only be given to Ordinary Members, Fellow and active Life Members.
