Joining MAP

The first step of entering the Museum Accreditation Program is the Expression of Interest Form. Applications close on 31 May each year.

We look for organisations with the capacity and commitment to meet museum standards. There is a high demand for places in MAP and not all Expressions of Interest may be accepted. Priority is given to museums who are most ready to undertake the program.

Map Ready?
This PDF lists features of museums ready to undertake the MAP program.

An Information Session is held each March at Melbourne Museum where we invite representatives of museums interested in enrolling in MAP the chance to:

gain a clear overview of the MAP process
receive an update on current museum standards and practices
begin planning a realistic approach to accreditation
get to know others working towards the same goal
meet the MAP Managers and/or other MA (Vic) staff.

If you are located in a regional area, we are able to provide information and to discuss any questions your organisation may have.
