Creating a vibrant community of African Australians who excel personally & professionally, and positively impact the community

The African Professionals of Australia (APA) is one of the largest non-for-profit African organisations in Australia. Founded in 2007 in Perth, WA, APA currently has a national membership of 2500 members represented by 30 countries and 25 different professions. The company became national in 2010, and we saw the birth of APA New South Wales in June 2011. APA currently has four chapters in Western

Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, and the Australian Capital Territory. We are very excited to announce that the 5th chapter is due to be launched on the 26th of March 2015 in the state of Queensland. The main purpose of APA is to empower professionals of African origin to reach their full potential in their respective professions. This includes providing a platform to pursue and achieve continued professional relevance and impact on the Australian community at large. APA is governed by the Australian Corporations Act 2001 and is owned and managed by its members. APA is dedicated to the personal and professional success of African-Australian professionals and has in place several programs and initiatives aimed toward maximum utilisation of available resources to achieve its intended objectives. APA offers its member's leadership training, professional development, mentoring opportunities, career placement services and more. The organisation currently has four active chapters in Australia, with each chapter governed and operated by an active and dedicated unpaid executive board of professionals.

Dear APA - QLD Chapter African Professionals of Australia (APA) Ltd members and partners!

As we face the uncertainty of Cyclone Alfred approaching SE Queensland, I want to reach out with a heartfelt reminder for us all to prioritize our safety and well-being. While we may not fully understand the potential impacts yet, it is crucial to remain vigilant and proactive.

Here are some important reminders 💡

1. Safety First - Just like fastening your seatbelt before a journey, the first step is ensuring we protect ourselves and our loved ones.

2. Stay Updated - Monitor local news and weather updates regularly, follow updates and instructions from local authorities. Your safety is the cornerstone of how we can support one another.

3. Emergency Plans -Ensure you have an emergency plan in place for your household (keep phones charged, power banks, food supplies, water). Discuss it with your family and make sure everyone knows what to do.

4. Follow Instructions - Adhere to any evacuation orders or safety protocols from authorities. Your safety is paramount.

5. Reach Out for Support - If you encounter difficulties or have concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to local organizations for assistance in the first instance or to our APA QLD team for support with navigating the right services.

Together, we can support one another and emerge stronger from this challenge. Stay safe, take care of each other, stay informed. Being informed is key to making safe decisions. We are stronger together!
