Fees

Membership and admission fees represent only a small portion of the cost of administering the membership program and the value the ACA provides to its members. They do, however, serve as an important demonstration of each member's commitment and support for the organisation.

The revised fee schedule will be implemented from 1 July 2026.

Membership is covered in Council's Constitution
