Whether you prefer a one-off, in full payment or convenient quarterly instalments, the choice is yours. *Eligible members can enjoy the ease of setting up manageable payments scheduled for the 26th of each quarter. 

Exploring alternative payment methods we recognise that everyone has unique preferences when it comes to payment methods. If Visa or MasterCard credit or debit cards aren’t your preferred option, don’t worry. We’re here to accommodate your needs. In addition to these cards, we gladly accept prepaid cards that aren’t linked to a bank or credit union account. Your convenience is our priority, so feel free to choose the payment method that suits you best.

We are pleased to announce that our membership fees will remain unchanged for the current year, with no increases anticipated. Our fees are extremely competitive with our peers and include $20 million public liability and $20 million professional indemnity insurance, ensuring comprehensive coverage for our members.

If you are self-employed, you can provide last year’s tax return with your tax file number redacted for security purposes.
