  2. Absence from work should be for a minimum of three months
  3. Applications should be made within 1 month of return to work
  4. Reimbursements will be made on a pro rata basis based on completed whole months of leave
  5. Reimbursements will be made by reducing subsequent membership fees when they fall due
  6. Members on statutory leave at the start of the year when membership fees are due will be expected pay the fee with a view to reimbursement at a later date as outlined above. This ensures that there is no lapse in membership.
  7. Members taking a period of statutory leave will be entitled to full membership benefits.

Paying by Debit/Credit card

Paying with a debit/credit card is the most convenient way to pay your membership subscription – it gives you peace of mind that your subscription is continuous, automatically renewing each year.

How long will my application take to be approved?

We review all new applications at an Executive Committee meeting – this process can take up to 4 weeks depending on when your application is received.
