The Institute's vision is for the IMC to be recognised by all as the leading organisation representing and servicing the management consulting profession. Members of the Institute participate in both National and Chapter activities. IMC has Chapters in:
- New South Wales & Australian Capital Territory,
- Queensland,
- South Australia,
- Victoria & Tasmania, and
- Western Australia.
The Institute is the awarding body of the Certified Management Consultant (CMC) designation. CMC is the mark of competency for the management consulting profession and indicates that a management consultant meets certain requirements of character, education and experience. The CMC designation is recognised internationally. Institute members are part of an international network of professionals through the peak management consulting body - the International Council of Management Consulting Institutes (ICMCI). There are more than thirty member Institutes of the ICMCI and membership of the Australian Institute allows reciprocity of benefits with each member country without the need for further assessment or examination.
