The Australian Federation of Air Pilots (AFAP) is a professional association and industrial organisation for commercial pilots in Australia.
As a professional association, it provides pilots the opportunity to meet and discuss aviation-related matters. Its Technical Committee is involved in the development of Australian and international aviation safety standards.
As an industrial organisation, its role is to improve employment conditions for its members, including collective bargaining -- negotiating labour contracts, representing members involved in a dispute with their employer or in the event of an accident or incident.
