Get ready to renew
It’s almost time to renew your membership for 2025.
Renewals will open from 5 December 2024 to 14 January 2025. In the first week of December, you will receive an email with the link to renew your membership.
Now is a great time to update your membership details in your member portal including your contact details, payment method, mailing address and communication preferences.
We’d like to share some information about changes in fees and your renewal options. To support you through the challenges of the current economy, fee increases have been minimised.
- Associate members will see a fee increase of $22 with smaller increases for members overseas.
- Concession fees for retired members and those taking parental or post-graduate study leave are frozen at 2024 rates and a new concessional fee has been introduced for those working 2 days or less per week.
- If you’re recently registered as an architect or moved to a practising status, then let us know and we’ll move you to a new category.
