APA are the best in the business. I have had many dealings with their representatives for support, whether that be a phone call for help, or attend the yearly Payroll Masterclass, and all of which I rate really high. I would highly recommend APA to all professionals in this field.

Tracy and her team at the Australian Payroll Association are an invaluable resource to anyone in the Payroll sector. They are instrumental in lifting the profile of Payroll from a back office function to a crucial business role in any organisation. Their passion for encouraging ongoing learning and development and professionalism is commendable. I have always found their help desk function to be A1 and timely – as it needs to be. Their annual conferences are not only a fantastic opportunity to learn and network but are also great fun. For any business that values their people and compliance – membership is a no-brainer.
Claire Story, Fintona Girls School
"Every now and then you'll get one of those out of the box questions from senior executives who come to you wanting a definitive yes or no answer on one of those obscure areas in payroll. Always urgently needed yesterday! This is where APA membership is priceless.
Maria Nikoletatos has been especially helpful in talking through and finding the most probably answer in those grey areas where no definitive answer exists, and in pointing out where evidence supporting the most probable answers can be found. Maria is very good at explaining matters in an easy to understand manner and has responded very quickly whenever I've needed help."
Katie Keddie, John Wiley & Sons Australia Ltd
"Whenever I have the opportunity to talk to fellow 'Payrollers', I always ask if they are members of APA and if not, why not. It's easy for me to personally recommend the Australian Payroll Association because I really believe in what Tracy and the team are creating. It's exciting to see the organisation go from strength to strength simply by meeting the real needs of payroll professionals.
"The recent highly successful Payroll Conference held in Sydney was a great example of this and was well attended by over 400 delegates. In fact one person I suggested should attend the conference couldn't get in because it was fully booked! But they will definitely be going next time!"
David Porter
"I would recommend Australian Payroll Association to any business that wants to ensure they are kept up to date with changes relating to legislation, taxation, industrial relations and more.
They offer access to the latest information, training, best practice and many more resources when we need them. I believe Australian Payroll Association is at the forefront of the payroll profession and believe they offer indispensable learning opportunities.
Their support is unrivalled and I have full confidence in their advice, knowledge and experience within the payroll arena."
William Withers, Campbell Arnotts
"APA have been an excellent support service when dealing with payroll situations that are out of the normal day to day function. Their response times are in most cases instant, and all the staff are a pleasure to deal with.
They beat any competitor 'hands down' and come highly recommended by our organisation. It is great to know that payroll professionals can be part of such a valued and trusted association!"
Gina Tsotra, HUGO BOSS Australia Pty Ltd
"The Australian Payroll Association provides a valuable resource to all Payroll Professionals with their regular updates to a range of payroll and employment related issues presented to us. I rely on the excellent service provided by APA to inform me of the many changes and issues facing our industry."
Damian Membry, Monash University
"APA have been a godsend. Working in a company with poor payroll support and even poorer understanding of Australian specific payroll requirements makes APA support more important. Maria is a great help and is always generous with her time especially when I have complex payroll questions needing clarification."
Callum Hart, EMC Australia
"Maria is so helpful and she understands the urgency of my queries and gets back to me as quickly as she can. There are many times when I would have spent hours poring through websites looking for the information I need but Maria is able to tell me straight away and it's helpful to be able to explain my specific issues rather than get a general answer."
"Fantastic organisation to be a part of that supports the Australian Payroll Industry. The APA team are very helpful and eager to assist along with their honest and friendly approach. Being part of this association definitely gives me a level of comfort that I can contact for assistance when needed."
