Becoming a Fellow/Accredited Member

A Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries of Australia (FIAA) is a fully-qualified actuary.

The FIAA qualification is recognised in many countries and is held in high esteem throughout Australia and internationally.

Fellowship applications are approved by Council.
