integrity - positivity - impacet, for those who put their actions where their values are

About our Individual Membership

We will continue to work to assess, credential, inform, inspire, connect and promote those who commit to conducting themselves with high levels of integrity and positivity and who wish to have a positive impact on their own homes, workplaces, communities and their natural environments.

Who Can Become a Member?

Anyone who is committed to operating within the highest possible standards of integrity, positivity and impact can join High Ideals. At present the business is based in Australia, however, membership is open to anyone from any country. Regardless of what line of work you are in, you would be eligible for membership. Membership is not based on your career history, achievements or experience; it is purely based on your attitude, conduct and desire to associate with others who want to create a positive experience in business and the broader globe upon which it operates.

It is our goal to also have a form of business membership or accreditation; however, this is planned for the second phase in the development of High Ideals. If you wish to be kept informed of future opportunities to gain business certification, please notify us through our "Contact Details" form.

Benefits of Membership

We aim to make membership in High Ideals the most rewarding, supportive and enjoyable experience possible. In return for their commitment to have a positive impact on the business and broader world through their consistent acts of positivity and integrity, our members receive the following benefits:

For Student Members

Student membership can be proudly displayed on your résumé and job application forms. Technical qualifications are important in the current job market, but it will be attitude and character that mark you out from the crowd, win you the job offer, and gain you entrance into the best organisations. Your High Ideals membership is a stellar testament to your attitude and character and will set you above the rest in the recruitment process.
Students will be encouraged to attend the regular gatherings, networking and special speaker events which will be held in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane. These are excellent opportunities for you to mingle with experienced professionals, who — because they are committed to have a positive impact on others — will be happy to share their knowledge, experience and strength with you and help you become connected with the right people for you to be meeting at this point in your career.
Many of our members are coaches and mentors, who will provide extra special offers to our student members to help them reach their full potential.
You will learn important and relevant information about how to get the most out of your experience in business by reading the regular articles posted on the website and published in High Ideals' newsletters, magazine and other special publications.
