Changelog

After years of being part of Australia's #1 website for contact centre & CX professionals, CX Central, in 2019 the CX Directory moved to its own domain that you are looking at now (www.cxdirectory.com.au).

In 2022, and with the launch of the Australian Customer Experience Professionals Association (ACXPA), this directory is now the official Supplier Directory.

ACXPA Supplier Directory Changelog

We strongly rely (and encourage!) feedback from customers to constantly update and refine the directory to ensure it provides a great customer experience for customers looking for suppliers. In addition to customers looking for suppliers, our aim is to also ensure this website easy to use for suppliers when listing, maintaining and upgrading their listings. 

There is also consistent work behind the scenes to ensure the site loads quickly and ranks well in Google (known as Search Engine Optimisation) which ensures we receive consistently high (and growing!) traffic to the site.

You'll find a list of important updates and changes below and if there is any feedback or feature suggestions you'd like to provide please contact us - all feedback is reviewed!
