Entity / Practice Membership
Fee Calculator
Choose your category, then build your member mix. Every entity fee is a registration fee plus a number of included Designer memberships, with additional members on a marginal volume-discount ladder, so each one costs less than the last.
1 · Choose your entity category
Every category includes an administrator. Administrators are not counted as designers. Any ‘Designer’ membership included in the package can be upgraded to an ‘Accredited Designer’ membership.

PRACTICE
How your fee is built
Entity fees are not set as a flat figure. Each is a registration fee covering entity-level benefits, plus a number of included memberships at the $250 starting rate, plus any additional members priced on the ladder.
How this works. Every entity fee is a registration fee plus a number of included memberships at
$250, a starting discount on the $325 Designer rate. Additional members are priced on a marginal bracket ladder, like income tax brackets: each member is charged at the rate for the position they occupy, so discounts deepen from 25% to 90% as headcount rises. Accredited members fill the earliest brackets, then Designers. The Student rate is already concessional and is charged at a flat $45, outside the ladder. The fee always rises with headcount while cost per person always falls. Fees are GST-exclusive and reviewed annually.
