MEMBERSHIP CHANGES JULY 2023
MEMBERSHIP CATEGORY CHANGES
We’re making APSAD membership simpler and fairer.
From 1st July 2023 APSAD will provide a more inclusive membership model, with your membership fee based on your annual income. We feel that means-testing is the fairest way to segment our membership categories. If you earn less, you shouldn’t miss out on any essential benefits of APSAD membership.
CATEGORIES
- Individual full-fee Member
- Individual reduced-fee* Member
- Individual free^ Member
- Subscriber - APSAD Discussion Forums (no cost)
- Organisational Member
* for DANA Affiliates and those with a gross yearly income of between $35,001 and $80,000 (e.g. concession, retired, early career)
^ for students and those with a gross yearly income of less $35,000
ORGANISATIONAL MEMBERSHIP
Institutional membership is now Organisational Membership with Organisational Members nominating the level of membership based on the number of discounted conference registrations rather than the number of professional staff employed. Organisational members can change the level of membership annually, and can also increase their membership level during the year to receive more discounted registrations.

Exclusively for financial DANA members, this option provides a reduced fee on APSAD membership with full membership to both APSAD and DANA. APSAD and DANA have enjoyed a close relationship for many years, this initiative flows from that relationship.
