AANZPA offers a range of membership categories as outlined below. All members receive communications about AANZPA conferences and meetings along with occasional newsletters and our annual journal. Membership of AANZPA also brings automatic membership to the AANZPA regional association in your area. AANZPA Inc maintains a membership database of addresses and relevant details. It is a member’s responsibility to notify the Membership Secretary of changes to these details. Up to date records permit the easy dissemination of notices and material as well as maintaining an accurate membership directory, which is published on the AANZPA’s website for members only.

Ordinary Membership

Ordinary Membership is open to practitioners who hold a current practice certificate issued by the AANZPA Inc Board of Examiners on payment of a fee. Ordinary Members are eligible to be nominated and elected to the AANZPA Executive and to vote at the AGM.

Associate Membership

Associate Membership is open to those who have a demonstrated commitment to the Association and its goals and principles through undertaking ongoing training with an AANZPA accredited institute for at least 6 months.
