What TMA Australia does

TMA Australia is the Australian chapter of the global Turnaround Management Association (TMA), a not-for-profit professional membership association serving the corporate restructuring, turnaround, and insolvency ecosystem. It represents approximately 1,000 members nationally, connecting restructuring professionals, insolvency accountants, lawyers, bankers, and other advisors involved in corporate renewal and distressed situations. The organisation operates as part of a global TMA network spanning 54 chapters with over 10,000 members worldwide, providing members access to international events, certifications, and peer networks.

The association's core offerings include professional development and certification programs (including the Certified Turnaround Analyst and Certified Turnaround Professional designations), a calendar of 40+ national events per year, a flagship National Conference, member directories, and a recently launched mobile application for member engagement. TMA Australia also delivers policy advocacy, including formal submissions to the Productivity Commission and Treasury, and in 2024 launched the EIRA Voluntary Code to professionalise industry conduct. Education products and chapter-level programming across major Australian cities extend the association's reach.

TMA Australia's revenue model is built on multiple membership tiers: Individual Memberships at approximately $917.75 annually plus an $80 joining fee, Corporate Memberships, and a tiered National Partner program with bundled sponsorships ranging from $22,000 (Silver) to $80,000 (Diamond). Additional revenue is generated through event registrations, certification and education fees, and targeted sponsorship packages. The organisation is structured as a company limited by guarantee and reinvests surplus into member services, advocacy, and education.
