ACPA membership lasts for a full year. Membership is renewed on the anniversary of approval of membership of ACPA, or on a date set by the ACPA Board.
You will receive notification by email when your membership renewal date is coming up.
Renewing your membership can be done easily via the ACPA website.
Members can change their membership category as they progress in the profession from Student to Associate to Full Membership. Subject to eligibility, members can also change to or from Non-Practising Membership, or International Affiliate Membership, in accordance with their circumstances.
There is no charge to change your membership category, but at renewal of membership the new charge will apply.
Members can apply to change their membership category via the ACPA website here (login required). Relevant supporting documents will need to be submitted.
If you need to change your membership category at the time of renewal and you are currently a Student Member, Associate Member or International Affiliate Member, please renew your current membership and then apply to change your membership category.
Once approved, your membership change will take effect free of charge. This allows a year of grace at the lower membership rate.
If you wish to change your membership category to or from Non-Practising Membership or International Affiliate Membership, please contact the ACPA office.
