Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ's
Q.1 What happens to my membership if I change my employment, within the RMA membership year, and start work for a non institutional member?
A. You retain your individual membership status and benefits for the remainder of the RMA Australia Membership, which ends 31 March. It is however your responsibility to advise the RMA of your changed contact details. Upon membership renewal, if you are no longer employed with one of our Institutional Members you are unable to renew your Individual Membership. You may however be eligible for Associate Membership.
Q.2 Can I transfer my membership to another colleague if I am leaving the organisation?
A. Membership is non transferrable. Members must be ratified by the RMA Management Committee, therefore membership can not simply be transferred to another individual. The administration and record keeping cost of recognising a new member, or rejoining member, is set at $50, regardless of when the individual joins. Please advise RMA Membership Services (membership@rmaaustralia.org or ph: 1300 789 289) if you do not wish to retain Individual Membership.
Q.3 I am a consultant for an institutional member, can I become an Individual member?
A. If you are working on a long-term contract basis for one of our institutional members and have an email address with the organisation, or an Institutional Member Representative can confirm you employement you are eligible for Individual Membership. Otherwise, you may be eligible for Associate Membership
Q.4 How do I know if my membership has been processed?
