Membership fee discounts

There are many different circumstances that can impact your financial situation. Whether you've been out of the workforce for a period due to unemployment or family care responsibilities, working casually with reduced hours, working part-time due to illness or disability or returning to work from parental leave, your level of income may make you eligible for a discount to your membership fees.

If you are a current member on parental leave (or will commence parental leave during an APS membership year), you are eligible for a membership fee discount.

If you are a current member and fully retired, you are eligible for an ongoing discount on your membership fees. If you are transitioning to retirement, or planning to do so within an APS membership year, certain parameters apply for eligibility of this discount. We encourage all our members, including those in semi-retirement, to apply for this discount.

In recognition of the extensive kinship systems inherent to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities who provide substantial financial support to others, the APS offer a discount to AIPA members.
