CICA, the Career Industry Council of Australia, was established in 2000 and remains a leader in the field of career development. As Australia's Peak Body for the Career Industry, CICA acts as a focal point for government and stakeholders concerned with promoting quality career development services. Their vision is to enhance transitions and productivity by advocating for the individual, social, and economic benefits of quality career development for all Australians.

CICA works to consult and collaborate with relevant stakeholders, enhance collegiality within the career industry, facilitate strategic liaisons with stakeholders and policymakers, develop community awareness of the value of career development, promote professional standards and practice, and enhance relationships within the international career development community. Since its formation, CICA has worked tirelessly to ensure that Australian citizens are empowered to make informed career decisions and manage their career development throughout their lifetime. This dedication has led to significant initiatives, including their involvement in the creation of the myfuture website and collaboration with government agencies and organizations.

CICA is a world first in the global career development industry and continues to be an effective national peak body and lobby group, informing and influencing stakeholders in the pursuit of their mission
