Membership – YIR 2024-2025

ASI now has 6,920 total members, with 700 corporate members and 23,714 contacts in the broader ASI community. 

This represents a significant increase on last year’s figures, which were 6,370, 611 and 21,865 respectively. 2024-2025 saw the greatest number of new accounts approved in one year, with 121 new company accounts. Our membership retention rate was an outstanding 91%.

Fabricators led the way, making up 59% of all new members. ASI’s compliance solutions Steelwork Compliance Australia (SCA) and Steel Sustainability Australia (SSA) continued to be among the biggest attractions for membership. 

With state government departments now specifying
AS/NZS 5131 and/or mandating certified fabricators to be used, demand for certification continues to be strong. 

ASI fabricator membership increased by 15.2% over the year. Overall, ASI has seen a 252% increase in fabricator members over the past six years.
