Who needs to join
Under the code of conduct, you must be on the register if you are working as a:
- lobbyist
- government affairs director.
You can’t conduct lobbying or influencing activities until you and your organisation are registered.
Lobbyists and lobbyist organisations
A lobbyist is a person, company or organisation who works on behalf of a third-party to influence government decisions.
A lobbyist organisation employs one or more lobbyists.
Both the lobbyist organisation and any lobbyists they employ must be registered.
If your organisation is already registered and you need to be added as a lobbyist, please contact your responsible officer.
Government affairs directors
A government affairs director is a person who is employed to influence government decisions for their employer only and does not do so on behalf of a third-party client.
Both the government affairs director and their employer must be registered.
If a government affairs director takes on a third-party client, they must also register as a lobbyist.
If your organisation is already registered and you need to be added as a government affairs director, please contact your responsible officer.
