Yes. To continue receiving all your member benefits, and to prove to employers that you are accountable to AASW’s Code of Ethics, you need to renew your membership by 30 June 2023. Membership fees paid before 30 June 2023 may be tax deductible in this financial year.  

Visa or MasterCard credit or debit card. You can make a one-off payment, or you can autorenew annually or in monthly, easy-to-manage instalments on the 26th of each month. Both methods will require a Visa or MasterCard credit or debit card. BPay and direct debit from bank accounts have been discontinued.  

We understand that you may prefer a different payment method other than Visa and MasterCard credit or debit card. Currently, we don’t offer any other payment methods. If you would prefer not to use a credit card, many financial institutions offer Visa and MasterCard debit, where you use your own money. 

We understand that it was convenient to be able to choose the day of the month your membership was deducted from your account. If you choose monthly autorenewal, the deduction will happen on the 26th of each month. For a full fee-paying member, this is around $60 per month. Just ensure that you have at least that amount available on your card on the 26th.  

Yes, even if you currently pay by direct debit. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore MyAASW and all the member-only benefits, as well as the opportunity to ensure your personal details and communications preferences are exactly how you want them. We also have some new declarations that all members need to agree to, as part of our regulatory function.  

Autorenewal via credit or debit card will replace direct debit from bank accounts. The big advantage is that you will now be able to access the early bird discount each year if you pay via this method. This choice was not available under the previous direct debit arrangement.  

You can call us for help logging into MyAASW. However, the membership renewal itself must be done online, to ensure that you have reviewed your contact details, communications preferences and agreed to the declarations. 

This is the first increase to membership fees in five years. Over the last five years, the Association has adapted to provide more services that are accessible to all our members than ever before. There are costs associated with systems and services and the daily running of the Association. Inflationary pressures have affected costs across the board, including at AASW.  

Our fees are still extremely competitive with our peers and include $20 million public liability and $20 million professional indemnity insurance.

If you are applying for member reduced fee membership, we ask that you provide evidence that are you earning under $62,608 per year. You can do this by providing your last two payslips. If you are self-employed, you can provide last year’s tax return with your tax file number redacted for security purposes. 

If you are an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW) and you have applied for a Medicare Provider Number or Numbers, please complete the field on MyAASW informing us. This will assist us in advocacy, reporting and most vitally, the ability for us to maintain insurance coverage on your behalf.
