Joining Fee

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

• Standard $20.00
• Concessional (Full pension & full-time students) $10.00

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

Why not become a Sustaining member?

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.
