Who is accountable
Alan Hewitt, President, is responsible for the data APIA publishes and answers for any error in it.
APIA is governed by a committee of three members under the Model Rules. The full committee is recorded on the public register maintained by Consumer Protection (WA), which anyone may search.
Funding
APIA is self-funded by its founder and has received no external funding to date.
If that changes, this page will say so and name the source. We would rather tell you than have you find out.
Corrections
Every dataset APIA publishes carries its sources and its method, so you can check our working.
If you find an error, write to info@apia.org.au with “correction” in the subject line. We will check it, fix it if we are wrong, and record what changed — so corrections are visible rather than silent.
Conflicts of interest
APIA operates under the Model Rules, which govern the circumstances in which any payment may be made to a committee member. Committee members declare personal interests in matters before the committee, and any such payment is approved by the committee and recorded in the minutes.
