Membership
Individual Membership can be awarded to anyone at council who satisfy the eligibility for membership as outlined in the association’s Membership Policy. Members allocated under the Professional Development Bundle will receive all benefits as outlined for Individual Members under the Membership Policy.
Next Gen Membership is as above, however this membership is to be provided to members under the age of 35 years.
Should a nominated member under your bundle leave council during the term of the bundle, council is free to re-allocate that membership to another staff member, however their membership will expire in line with the renewal date of the bundle.
Professional Development Credit
Council will be provided with a credit to the value indicated on the chosen bundle, which can be put towards any professional development activity offered by us, subject to event terms and conditions.

- Professional Development Bundle benefits will be made available to council upon payment of the Professional Development
Bundle invoice.
- Once payment has been received, council will have the opportunity to nominate staff members to receive membership and
other benefits. It is council’s responsibility to ensure all nominated staff members return fully completed membership forms. Where council staff fail to return this information, no refunds will be provided for lost member
benefits.
- Should council wish to transfer existing individual members under their bundle, the member must consent to this in writing
acknowledging that their membership tenure will be reset to zero and cannot be restored at a later date.

Bundle – this will be negotiated with the individual council. Multiple bundle packages can be purchased by the one council.

Professionals Australia, NSW individual membership when they commence employment at another council. Should the
nominated staff member leave council and not re-enter employment with another council, they will not be entitled to apply
for individual membership.
