In this brief YouTube dialogue, Speaker A asks whether recent changes to the ACS (Australian Computer Society) renewal process take time for professionals to understand. Speaker B admits that the updates are not well advertised through official channels. Instead, information about the changes is primarily disseminated via informal mediums such as podcasts, social‑media videos, and recordings. Some engineers who have just completed their ACS renewal report that they were unaware of the updates because they rely on official communications, and the only way to learn about the changes without revisiting the renewal process is through these informal channels.

When these kind of changes come in, does it take quite a long time to kind of, for all everyone to kind of work out what the changes are?
If I'm honest, they're not as well advertised as what you would expect. These sort of podcasts, these, these chats that we are having, and a few other people have done the social media videos, they are what seem to be highlighting these changes. And you've got a couple of people who are saying, well, I've just come out my ACS renewal, you know, only done it a week ago and they didn't even mention this. If you don't go back for your ACS renewal, the only way you're gonna know really about this update is by social media and recordings like this.
