I have had the privilege of meeting and dealing with Tracy, Maria, Andy and the team at APA for many years. I would encourage anyone who deals with payroll to sign up as a member. Take advantage of the training courses on offer. Maria is a fantastic trainer and has the ability to break down legislation and awards into a presentation that everyone can understand.

The End of Year Webinar was really helpful. It was a great opportunity to just refresh ourselves on those 'once a year' tasks and be sure that we were up to date with any changes to the payroll landscape throughout the year. The webinar format was perfect. It's a busy time of year for all and being able to remote in meant that the whole team could easily attend. Thanks for the invitation!!

Maria is the best teacher I have ever come across - she manages to keep 20 adults of varying capabilities totally absorbed during her classes - her knowledge of all things payroll is second to none! I just wish I could attend every class she teaches - I always come away much more informed but also wanting to learn more.

Australian Payroll Association (APA) has been very instrumental in my career, specifically Andy Thompson. Andy has helped me get into the position that I'm currently in at one of the most reputable firms in Australia. He has always been very encouraging and supportive of me, and values my experience and skill set. He is one of my biggest advocates and helped steer me in the right direction with my career. I also use APA to assist with any ongoing payroll related advice that I need. Tracy and Maria are knowledge experts when it comes to all matters relating to Payroll. Whether it's advice about payroll vendors, or legislative and statutory obligations, they are always more than happy to assist and go above and beyond.
