Membership Levels
The Australian College of Researchers is an organization of esteem. With this point in mind membership of the college is only available on the recommendation and sponsorship of a Fellow of the College. The college offers two levels of membership. Each level is commensurate to the esteem of the candidate and stands to honour and acknowledge the contribution made by the member to research and creative and innovative human endeavor.
Member : MACR
A College member is typically an accomplished researcher. This level of membership seeks to acknowledge and pay witness to candidates who have completed a higher degree of research together with peer-reviewed published pieces of research or originally produced artefacts deemed to be of significant merit as determined by the President of the College.
Fellow of the College: FACR
This level of membership is the highest level of esteem and seeks to acknowledge and pay witness to candidates who have a globally significant portfolio of peer-reviewed and published original pieces of academic literature or originally produced artefacts at a standard deemed exemplary by the President of the College. Fellows of the College are thus globally recognised experts and leaders in their field of research. Only a Fellow can nominate a person for membership of the College.
