Standards

IPEd's Australian standards for editing practice sets out the core standards that professional editors should meet.
Obtain the Standards

IPEd is governed by a council comprising one nominee from each of the members, the Australian societies of editors.

Councillors, in effect directors of the company, serve two-year terms. Retiring councillors are eligible for reappointment.

The council must, by statute, appoint an honorary treasurer and a secretary. The former must be a member of a member society; the latter need not be.

Councillors with terms until late 2014 are:

  • Chair, Owen Kavanagh, New South Wales
  • Robin Bennett AE, Deputy Chair, Queensland
  • Alan Cummine, Canberra, ACT
  • Susan Rintoul DE, South Australia
  • Charles Houen, Victoria
  • Jo Smith AE, Western Australia
  • Elizabeth Spiegel AE, Tasmania

Charles Houen is the company secretary.
