Institute of Professional Editors (IPEd)
In addition to the individual editing societies in each Australian state, there is a national organisation set up to debate and consider items of national interest and importance: the Institute of Professional Editors Limited or IPEd, the successor to the Council of Australian Societies of Editors (CASE).
IPEd was created with the support of all seven state and territory societies of editors. IPEd manages the national system of accreditation, promotes the profession, and works towards coordinating education and training across Australia and across sectors. The IPEd website is regularly updated with news of IPEd activities in areas such as accreditation, standards, professional development, conferences and promotion.
The IPEd Council:
- has one Councillor from each state or territory
- is a company limited by guarantee and registered with ASIC
- has several committees, led by a convenor, to explore current issues
- is funded on a pro rata basis, by its member societies.
In early 2009, IPEd surveyed its member societies to gather general information that would guide the future directions of the national organisation. Read the survey results on the IPEd website.
