Information collected through the survey assists in confirming ongoing certification and membership eligibility and alignment with ABA Australia’s professional requirements, while also providing a clearer understanding of the behaviour analytic workforce across Australia. Workforce data collected includes information relating to professional indemnity insurance, continuing professional development, recency of practice, certification and membership category eligibility, professional status, employment arrangements, workplace settings, geographic distribution, practice sectors, and workforce demographics. This information enables ABA Australia to identify workforce trends, understand where and how behaviour analysts are practising, identify service access needs, support workforce planning and professional development initiatives, strengthen advocacy efforts through accurate workforce data, and promote a diverse, inclusive, and culturally responsive profession. Demographic information collected through the workforce survey also supports ABA Australia’s understanding of workforce diversity, including representation across gender, age, country of birth, cultural identity, and geographic location. These insights assist in identifying opportunities to support inclusive professional standards and culturally responsive practice across the field. |
