A joining fee applies once when you first join and is in addition to the annual subscription:

The concessional joining fee is available to Australian residents who hold an Australian Department of Social Security full pension and health rebate card, or are full-time students at an approved Australian educational institution. Documentation which confirms this may be requested.

Sustaining membership

Sustaining membership is an opportunity to provide us with a fully tax-deductible, GST-exempt donation in addition to your annual subscription. Sustaining membership funds are used to ensure we can purchase the latest resources for researchers. There are four levels available:

• Silver $100 donation;
• Gold $250 donation; 
• Platinum $500 donation;
• Diamond $1,000 donation.

You can become a sustaining member when you join or renew your membership and you can change the level of your support, or revert to a standard membership, at any time.
