MEMBERSHIP CATEGORY CHANGES

MEMBERSHIP CHANGES JULY 2023

APSAD.01 sMEMBERSHIP CATEGORY CHANGES

We’re making APSAD membership simpler and fairer.

  

From 1st July 2023 APSAD will provide a more inclusive membership model, with your membership fee based on your annual income. We feel that means-testing is the fairest way to segment our membership categories. If you earn less, you shouldn’t miss out on any essential benefits of APSAD membership.

CATEGORIES

* for DANA Affiliates and those with a gross yearly income of between $35,001 and $80,000 (e.g. concession, retired, early career)
^ for students and those with a gross yearly income of less $35,000


ORGANISATIONAL MEMBERSHIP

Institutional membership is now Organisational Membership with Organisational Members nominating the level of membership based on the number of discounted conference registrations rather than the number of professional staff employed. Organisational members can change the level of membership annually, and can also increase their membership level during the year to receive more discounted registrations.


ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP FEES

Membership Fee Changes come into effect on 1st July 2023 (all prices include GST).
