Membership

Q: Do I get instant access?

Stripe, using a card gives you instant access. On-line bank payments are processed manually, allow up to a week.

Q: Can I pay for Conference and NZWCS Membership at the same time?

No. Conference is a separate joint venture with it's own bank account. We suggest that you have two payees set up on internet banking - NZWCS and NZWCS Conf. 

Q: What is the cost of membership?

The below fees are inclusive of GST 

Q: Should we enrol as a Full Member or as a Corporate Account?

Full Membership gives you the right to vote at the AGM.

If you have five staff or more, then a Corporate Account is more cost effective.  You can apply for Corporate Account membership and then forward the auto-generated email to your  accounts payable department.  

Note that if you choose to utilise the Corporate Account option, a nominated person needs to forward all correspondence to each of the Corporate Members.

Q: How do I get my membership number to receive discounts on Study Days, events and Conference?

Your membership number will automatically be on the emails you receive from NZWCS.

Q: Is it an annual subscription?

Yes, anniversary is your application date.

Q: Can I get an invoice with purchase order?

Yes, the membership application process includes space for Purchase Order Numbers. Forward the email/Invoice to your employer. Membership is activated once paid (you will receive an email when processed)

Q: How many emails will I get as a Full Member?

We only send targeted emails, for example a Study Day in your Area. Tissue Issue newsletter is sent 1st of every second month Feb/April/June/Aug/Oct.
