• Full Membership applicants pay an $80 application fee. Following confirmation, new Full Members are invoiced for the remainder of the financial year on a pro-rata basis.
• Student Subscribers who join as Full Members within 12 months of completing the relevant qualification and have been a student subscriber for a continuous period of a minimum of 12 months prior to joining the NZPsS as a member are eligible for a 50% discount on their full member subscription for the first year.

The current (2012-2013) subscription fees are:

Member/Fellow/Associate Fellow - $448.00
Life Member - $175.00
Overseas Member - $268.00

Subscription information

Reminders of unpaid subscriptions are sent in July and August. If the subscription then remains unpaid, the status is amended to "unpaid" and the member is removed from the mailing list. When the subscription is paid, mailing activity resumes.
At the end of that financial year, if the subscription remains unpaid, the status is amended to "suspended".
Membership can be reactivated by paying the full year's subscription.
At the end of the next financial year, if still unpaid, the member is deemed to have resigned and needs to reapply for full membership including nominators.

Members are able to request a 1 year period of inactive status. If after this 1 year inactive status, the following year's subscription remains unpaid, members are deemed to have resigned and have to reapply for membership.

Members who are studying fulltime

Full Members who return to studying fulltime are able to request a subscription at Student A rate ($69.00.) To qualify for student A rate, members must provide evidence of enrolment by supplying a current fees receipt or a letter from the Head of Department stating that they are currently enrolled in fulltime study.

Provision for Temporary Fee Reduction

If you are temporarily on limited or no income (for example through illness or maternity leave) you may request a fee reduction. You will be required to provide a declaration giving an estimate of your gross income for the year and your cirumstances in order to calculate the reduced fee applicable. The minimum fee able to be granted is equivalent to the Life Member subscription, ($175.00.)

The Society provides the declaration form for you to complete. 

At any time, members are welcome to approach the Society if they need to clarify issues. Please contact membership@psychology.org.nz
