Retired and undertaking some paid work?
If you are currently a Fellow, Ordinary Member or Associate member, of retirement age and have significantly reduced your working hours (to 1.5 days or fewer per week), you can rather keep your current membership but apply for our retirement concession that gives a 40% discount on your subscription.
