Membership into ALCS

Becoming a member in the Australian Life Coaching Society, is an active demonstration of your social responsibility. It is a real testament of your beliefs in interdependence, in collaboration, in life long learning, and most importantly - in making a difference in your community. ALCS honors your activism and caring.

There are no ongoing fees in being a member, as we believe that the choice to reach out and make a difference is its own reward. There is just a small $30 joining fee for administrative purposes and verification. (If you're an active member of ICF, registration is also free.)

With membership the coach will receive their own free subdomain on this website, (i.e. yourname.lifecoaching.net.au) which can feature a personal profile, articles and listing in the directory, - for the life of their membership. Also, based on involvement in ACLS and altruistic work, - membership seals will be awarded so coaches can build trust with other on-line clients.

Membership in ALCS is therefore an active demonstration of 'walking the talk'. There are four levels of membership that reflect this commitment, and they'll be recognized through the use of the following post nominals:
