Membership
An Australian Dance Adjudicators association membership gives you access to our guidelines, code of ethics, common sense working conditions and minimum standards of pay.
You will also be provided with opportunities to receive ongoing training and seminars exclusive to ADA members.
ADA members are considered by Australian dance eisteddfods and competitions as professionals in their respective fields. An ADA membership provides the competition hiring you with the confidence that they are hiring a respected professional. This reputation ensures that you will be booked as a working adjudicator.
Your membership of the ADA association will:
- strengthen our voice and ensure that it continues to be heard on issues that concern us,
- expand the depth of our knowledge and ability to mentor and train newcomers to our industry, and
- promote you as a working dance adjudicator.
