The Association of Professional Astrologers Inc (APA)
The APA was Incorporated in the Australian Capital Territory on 14 July 2000
AO3483
407 Johnston Street, Abbotsford Victoria 3067.
The APA is an organisation that serves the needs of professional astrologers
of Australasia and is a service for those who wish to consult a professional member
of the Association for any reason.
There is a directory of professional astrologers on the APA website which lists astrologers by country and state in alphabetical order with qualifications and contact Information.
Academic astrology qualifications from a recognised astrology examinations body
are criteria for membership and listing in the APA directory. Members must also
abide by the APA Statement of Professional Behaviour.
APA members receive a $50 discount on the biennial conferences of the Federation
of Australian Astrologers (FAA).
As a member of the Astrological profession I shall at all times abide by the
following Code of Behaviour :-
-
I shall conduct myself professionally at all times so as to comply with the generally
accepted standards of professional behaviour.
-
I shall, in accordance with astrological principles, render my professional services
for no other purpose other than the total well being of my clients.
-
I shall at all times respect the confidentiality of my clients and, apart from
the consultation being sought, shall only use their birth data (for any other
purpose) with their specific written consent.
-
I shall at all times keep the standard of my professional work as high as possible.
I shall endeavour to improve upon my technical skills and professional standards
whenever possible.
-
I shall never criticize, condemn or otherwise denigrate a member of the Association
in the presence of any client or other lay person. I shall point out astrological
error or breach of the professional conduct required under this statement, and
shall report such breach to the Secretary of the Association. This clause shall
not prevent a member from protecting the reputation of astrology in any forum
from fraud or charlatanism.
-
I shall be truthful in all advertising undertaken in the course of my profession.
-
I shall ensure that anyone employed by me shall strictly adhere to the same standards
of professional behaviour as long as s/he is employed by me.
-
I shall, upon being found by the APA to have transgressed any of the rules of
the Association or this Statement of Professional Behaviour, voluntarily surrender
and return all certificates issued by the Association.
-
As much as is possible, I shall display a copy of this Statement of Professional
Behaviour in my consulting rooms where it is clearly visible to clients.
