About Us

Who We Are

VICPA is the collective voice for freelance and self-employed creative professionals. We advance our members’ work prospects through advocacy, work-related advisory, resources, industry-wide collaborations and community.

Today, a lack of industry standards has contributed to an undervaluation of services. This has set back the industry’s progress, and if perpetuated, could result in the eventual outflow of creative professionals.

VICPA strives to put in place Safeguards and Support to give creative professionals the confidence and footing to traverse uncertainties and navigate new possibilities.

Standing strong together as VICPA, we have the power to #TiltTheScale #LiftTheTrade and to go the distance as practitioners and professionals.

Who We Represent

Our members are at the heart of what we do. In this regard, VICPA is guided by our constitution Objects.
