Notes & how this works
Pro-rata applies to new joiners and membership level changes
If you join, are re-admitted, or change membership category part-way through the membership year, fees are calculated quarterly. Members joining in Q1 pay the full annual fee, while members joining in Q4 pay 25% of the annual fee. Existing members renewing on time always pay the full annual amount.
For mid-year membership level changes, your current membership remains active for the quarter in which the change occurs. Any remaining quarters are credited from your existing membership and recalculated at the new membership rate.
The calculator above will display:
- the credit applied from your current membership
- the new membership charge
- the net amount payable or refundable
Q4 membership level changes
Members upgrading or downgrading their membership during Q4 are not subject to pro-rata adjustment for the current year. Instead, they will pay their annual renewal for the following year which becomes payable immediately. No refund or partial charge applies. Once payment is received, the new membership level activates straight away. Your existing membership continues at the current rate until then.
GST treatment
GST of 10% applies to memberships held by Australian residents and is added at the time of invoicing. Use the Ex GST / Inc GST toggle on the reference table to switch the displayed values.
Payment methods
Once an invoice has been issued, payment can be made online via the member portal or by direct deposit using the bank details listed on the invoice. A tax invoice will be provided upon payment.
