Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a payment for my membership subscription renewal?
For your convenience, there are several different payment methods available, which are all listed on the right hand side of this page and also on the reverse side of your Subscription Renewal Notice.
If you would like to pay online, login to the website and click on the Make a Payment icon. Please note that you cannot make any changes to your subscription if you are paying online.
Why do I have an opening balance?
Members may find an opening balance on their subscription renewal notice. This is generally due to unpaid subscription fees from previous years which have been carried over to the new invoice period.
How do I make amendments to my invoice?
If you would like to amend your invoice in any way (e.g. add a publication or Technical Society membership), please fill out the details in the space provided on the reverse side of your renewals notice and return with your payment slip; if you require assistance, please contact Member Services.
What is the late payment fee and why am I being charged?
The late payment administration fee was introduced to cover the administrative costs involved in undertaking the arrears recovery process. Any member who does not pay their subscription by the due date (July 1, 2010) will incur this fee.
