National Structure

The structure of the AFG Inc. revolves around the National Membership - there is a National Council made up of delegates from each state (in proportion to the membership of the state) and Divisional committees in each of the mainland states.

The Australian Training and Accreditation Board (AUSTAB) is a standing committee of the AFG Inc.

Responsibilities include:

• evaluating, accrediting and monitoring of all Feldenkrais Professional Training Programmes held in Australasia.
• Receiving applications from practitioner members for certification as Assistant Trainers in the Method.
• In cooperation with the NATAB (North America) and EuroTAB (Europe), AUSTAB is also responsible for the accreditation of Trainers of the Method.

In all accreditation processes, the TABs adhere to the International Policies for training standards and teacher certification to ensure students receive the necessary level of education.

As a separate process the AFG Inc. auspices Certification, whereby any practitioner who has successfully completed an accredited Feldenkrais Training Programme and who meets mandatory continuing education requirements can apply for certification to use the terms Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner and The Feldenkrais Method^® (Certification is irrespective of AFG Inc. membership). With this process the public can be assured of a standard of Practitioner service, and allows for the control of bogus practitioners.

International Federation

The AFG Inc. is a member of the International Feldenkrais Federation (IFF) through which members gain access to international networks and perspectives as the Method continues to expand globally. The IFF operates with a Board of Directors elected by the constituent members and holds an annual Assembly where representatives meet to address wide ranging issues related to the health and growth of the Feldenkrais Method^® on an international scale.
