AAMT affiliated associations and membership
AAMT has a federated structured with our affiliated associations in each state and territory.
While AAMT affiliated associations are independent organisations with their own governance and legal status, the AAMT Constitution establishes a formal connection between AAMT and each affiliated association. Under the Constitution, these affiliated associations are the Members of AAMT and collectively form the national federation of mathematics teachers.
Each Affiliate appoints a representative to serve as a Director on the AAMT Board, ensuring that national decisions are informed by local perspectives from across Australia.
All individuals and institutions that join their local state or territory affiliated association automatically become Associates of AAMT. Whereas the affiliated associations support mathematics learners and educators in their jurisdiction, AAMT provides a coordinated national voice for mathematics education across Australia.
Teachers, schools, and institutions wishing to engage with AAMT should join their local affiliated association. Their membership with the Affiliate automatically confers associateship with AAMT.
Members gain the following benefits:
- Participation in a national network of mathematics educators through both local and national professional communities.
- Professional learning and events offered by Affiliates and AAMT, often at preferential or discounted rates.
- Access to AAMT programs, resources, and publications, including the national events and projects that promote high-quality mathematics teaching.
- Opportunities for collaboration and professional exchange through AAMT initiatives and Affiliate activities.
- Advocacy and representation at the national level—AAMT speaks on behalf of mathematics educators and works to ensure the profession’s voice is heard in policy and practice.
- Preferential offers on third-party educational products and services made available from time to time to AAMT Associates.
AAMT’s national role
AAMT represents mathematics educators nationally by:
- advocating for funding and policies that strengthen mathematics education;
- responding to government inquiries, reviews, and consultations;
- participating in and supporting research projects;
- collaborating with other education organisations and community groups; and
- communicating current issues, opportunities, and developments across the sector.
AAMT increasingly engages with employers, industry, and community partners who share a commitment to improving mathematics learning. For example, employers may encourage their mathematicians to contribute to professional learning and education initiatives.
AAMT’s effectiveness relies on the active participation of Affiliates and Associates. By joining your local state or territory association, you gain access to professional benefits while helping ensure that mathematics education in Australia continues to have a strong, unified national voice.
