"I highly recommend joining, and then once you join, be active, go and check out all the different things. There’s everything from health and wellbeing to the knowledge bank and sharing your story. It’s a really amazing organisation."
"I discovered IPSE and I thought: that’s perfect, there’s an association that’s dedicated to freelancers, to people like me. It seemed like IPSE really understood what my needs were, and what I was looking for."
"It was all those things that I knew I needed to sort out. It was that peace of mind. Also let’s not ignore the perks, I’ve used the Apple discount many times over the years, which actually saves you a lot of money."
"From lobbying government on freelancer rights and policy, to providing access to the perks normally reserved for employees, being an IPSE member is the smart play."
"Joining IPSE is one of the single most important things a freelancer can do. They have information at their fingertips, lobby on your behalf and keep you constantly connected. It gives you such a strong sense of being part of a wider community and that your voice matters."
