Membership fees
Membership fees are:
- paid on an annual basis (January - December)
- paid in full (12 months) or instalment* (4 payments) and
- non-refundable (mid-year change to Parental leave and Full time study categories receive an account credit).
Our membership year runs annually from 1 January to 31 December. As a full member, the fee you pay reflects your current employment status. This means you pay less if you are not working full-time hours. If your employed hours increases during the year please contact the membership team to adjust.
*Instalment payments are only available to full members.
Note: If you join or reinstate your membership after 1 July, you may be eligible to receive a pro-rata membership discount. See 'Pro-rata fees for part year membership' below.
