Welcome to the new AKA website

By Australian Kinesiology Association, October 22nd, 2021

The AKA have been busy designing, developing, testing and training for the launch of this brand-new, feature-rich member website and database. More than just a website, this is a complete overhaul of the entire backbone of the association. It is the single source of all member-related activities including new memberships, renewals, events, online store and online forms. This new website is a large component of the AKA’s five-year strategic plan, satisfying all five objectives.

Features

• Improved Find a Practitioner functionality to promote our practitioner members to the fullest potential as well as Find an Instructor and Find a Supervisor/Mentor
• Accredited courses now searchable by location and date as well as the traditional listing
• Upcoming events, including our frequent webinars, with integrated ticketing system
• An online store to purchase kinesiology-specific digital content such as recorded webinars
• Streamlined, online course accreditation submission process
• Frequently asked questions with answers for new membership, existing membership, practitioners, training and course accreditation
• An ever-expanding list of evidence based research for the kinesiology modality
• A repository of general interest articles to promote kinesiology to the wider community;
• Clear information for prospective kinesiology students, including videos from the majority of the AKA’s registered training organisations so prospective students can make an informed decision on who to train with

Member Benefits

• Discounted products in the online store (be sure to be logged in to get your discount!) and access to member-only products such as free digital marketing bundles and an invoice template for those just getting started
• Practitioners can edit their profile to include social media links, pre-defined areas of specialty and type of kinesiology (that are searchable by the public), biography, images, a video, clinic locations and more to provide maximum exposure.
• Access to all your downloads such as webinars you have participated in or purchased to date in one, central place
• Upload your CPE online, with the AKA office uploading many CPE activities for you to save you time and make renewing your membership easier
• Access to all issues of In Touch in one central location
• Access to practitioner tools and charts etc
• Upgrade your membership, apply to be a clinical supervisor/mentor, publish a classified advert, submit a webinar proposal, apply for a grant, submit a general interest article (a small fee for editing applies), request your event be considered for CPE and more via streamlined online forms
• And much more!

The site has been tested predominantly by volunteers. Therefore, you might find something that is not quite right. We would love to know about it and have provided you an online form in your Member Dashboard under My Feedback (bottom right hand corner) to let us know. This goes straight to the webmaster to assess. We will endeavour to respond to any queries as soon as possible and thank you for your patience if tasks take a little longer to complete than normal as the entire team navigate our new environment.
