AICIP is a not-for-profit body called the Australian Institute for the Certification of Inspection Personnel. It is incorporated with the Department of Fair Trading (a NSW Consumer Protection Agency) under the Associations Incorporation Act 1984.

The reasons for the formation of AICIP were:

Due to Government policies, industry has been required to self-regulate itself with regard to the manufacture, installation and operation of engineered plant. In particular, with respect to the National Standard for Plant, owners of such plant need to ensure that competent persons are used to inspect such plant in-service. AICIP was therefore formed by industry organisations, with the support of the State Regulatory Authorities, to provide competency certification programs for inspection personnel. These programs are voluntary but give employers greater confidence in the competency of inspection personnel.

WTIA performs the Secretariat role for AICIP. Email enquiries to the AICIP Secretariat aicip@wtia.com.au
