About CPCA

The Chinese Professionals Club of Australia, Inc. (CPCA) is a non-profit, non-political organisation established in Victoria, Australia in February 1993. CPCA is made of people with Chinese background and a tertiary qualification and who are currently working in Australia as professionals. Currently we have over 500 members who work predominantly in universities, research and development institutions, industrial companies and government organisations. A high proportion of our members also hold Doctorate Degrees obtained from universities around the world.

The primary objectives of CPCA are to promote friendship and communication among our members, and to facilitate the exchange and cooperation between Australian and Chinese organisations and individuals in the areas of science and technology, culture, and economics. In line with these objectives, our members will work towards further establishing successful relationships between Chinese industrial, educational and other organisations and their Australian counterparts.

Members of CPCA have also enjoyed the various social activities organised by the Club, including celebrations during major Australian and Chinese holidays and festivals, family weekend gathering, sight seeing, dancing, movies and professional seminars. CPCA is also an active participant in "Clean Up Australia Day" and other similar local activities. The Club publishes a quarterly news bulletin titled "Rainbow" to inform and update our members on upcoming activities, and to maintain our ties within the Club.

CPCA is also looking to expand our member base. All CPCA members come from Chinese backgrounds, possess at least a tertiary qualification and are working in Australia as professionals or studying towards their higher degree of Masters or PhD. If you currently meet these requirements and would like to become a member of the Chinese Professionals Club of Australia based on Melbourne, please fill in our online Membership Application Form.
