FAQs for an ACXPA Business Membership
We’ve included a range of Frequently Asked Questions about our Business Memberships below.
If you still can’t find what you need, please contact us at 03 9492 2871 or email us at [email protected] and we’ll be happy to assist.
What’s the main difference between the different Business Membership levels?
All levels (1 to 5) provide the same benefits; the only difference is the number of individual memberships you can allocate to employees. This enables you to purchase a membership size that is best suited to your objectives.
Why do employees need an individual membership?
To access all of the premium resources, along with discounts to events etc, each employee requires an ACXPA individual membership. You can allocate your memberships to an employee at any time, and each employee nominated by you will receive their own login to the ACXPA website.
You will still hold the parent account and can add or remove access to your employees at any time via your own Memberships Dashboard.
Does everyone in my business need to have an individual membership?
No. The only people who need a membership are those who you think will benefit by having access to the ACXPA resources and community and who you’d like to receive a discount for when attending ACXPA events or training courses.
Our belief is that an ACXPA individual membership should have a level of prestige with it and not just be handed out to every employee in your business.
We’d rather memberships be allocated to employees who express an interest in furthering their development and who will make the most of the member benefits and engage with the ACXPA community.
Sure, it might make our numbers look better if we just had memberships that covered all employees in your business but we’d rather fewer, but more engaged members, than thousands of members who do not participate.
What are the payment options?
On checkout, you can select to pay by credit card or request an invoice for payment. Our standard invoice payment terms are 14 days; however, if you require something different, please contact us.
What is the duration of an ACXPA Membership?
All our memberships are for 12 months. They are set to auto-renew each year; however, if required, you can easily cancel from within your membership dashboard.
When does the membership period commence?
- For credit card purchases, your membership commences immediately upon payment.
- For invoices, your membership will commence as soon as the invoice is paid. Our standard invoice payment terms are 14 days, but if, for example, you paid in 2 days, then your membership will commence as soon as payment is made.
How are the discounts applied for events and training?
We’ve made it simple to purchase tickets to ACXPA Events and training courses – when you find the event/course you want to purchase tickets for, when you click purchase, you will be able to select any of your employees with an ACXPA membership and the discount will be automatically applied.
If you’d like to send employees who don’t have an ACXPA membership allocated to them, you can still do so, however, those employees will be charged at the normal (non-member) rate.
How do you allocate memberships to employees?
The person who purchases the Business membership will have access to a Memberships Dashboard where you can easily nominate and send invites to your nominated employees.
You enter their details (name and email address), and we then automatically send them an invitation to join.

How do my employees activate their allocated membership?
We’ve made it really easy for employees who have been allocated a membership to activate their membership. All they need to do is add their job title, phone number and password.
You can watch an example here >
Do you have to allocate all the individual memberships at once?
No! You are free to allocate memberships to employees at any time and they can all be managed from your Memberships Dashboard.
What happens if an employee leaves?
You can also cancel allocated memberships (in case someone leaves) at any time and reallocate the individual membership to another employee.
If I purchase the Business Membership myself, do I also receive an individual membership?
You have complete control over who receives the ACXPA individual memberships in your business, even for yourself!
Some people purchasing a business membership may only want to allocate and manage the membership allocations but don’t want to personally engage with the ACXPA Community (i.e., someone in finance, HR, executive assistance, etc.).
For others, i.e. a Call Centre Manager or Team Leader who is purchasing a Business membership, they will want a membership for themself and be in charge of allocating and managing all the memberships for their employees.
If you do want to allocate yourself an individual membership, there is a simple process to enable the allocation, and then you can easily switch between your individual and business memberships at any time as needed.

Can I purchase more individual memberships?
If you’ve already got a Business Membership with us, you can easily upgrade to a higher membership level to provide additional individual memberships.
If one of our set membership levels doesn’t suit you, please get in touch with us, and we can work out a customised plan for you.
What is the ACXPA Business Members Directory?
We wanted to provide our Business Members with an opportunity to showcase their business and proudly display their commitment to improving their customer experience and supporting our local industry!
The directory is free to use for the general public and it provides a range of search filters to make it easy for Australian consumers to search and connect to your business.
View the ACXPA Business Members Directory here >
How can you add or edit your Business Members Directory Listing?
The person who owns the Business Membership is the person who can add and edit your listing. The process for adding and editing your Business Listing can be easily managed from your dashboard.
Watch the video on the process >
Do we have to add our business to the ACXPA Business Members Directory?
No, it’s completely up to you.
Where is the Call Centre is a new Business Directory that puts the power of information and choice back to the Australian consumer when looking for companies.
Australian consumers can search by industry sectors (e.g. Insurance, Banking, Telcos, Energy etc.) and then filter by companies that use Australian-based contact centres along with a range of other powerful filters.
All ACXPA Business Members will receive 50% off adding their business to the directory.
Visit the Where is the Call Centre website >
Is the ACXPA Business Members Directory and ACXPA Supplier Directory the same thing?
No. The ACXPA Business Members Directory showcases ACXPA Business Members only.
The ACXPA Supplier Directory is for businesses that provide products and services to the contact centre, customer service, customer experience and digital service industry.
A listing in this ACXPA Supplier directory is included as part of our Vendor Memberships.
