What does membership renewal involve?

To renew your membership, there are three steps to complete:

Step 1: Review and confirm your details such as your name, address, contact numbers and current employment.

Step 2: Complete your Mandatory Notifications, a series of declarations to help you satisfy your member obligations. These declarations may include licences, other memberships and regulatory obligations as applicable to you. They also cover continuing professional development (CPD) hours. Mandatory Notifications are an integral part of the membership renewal process. They help us continue to protect the profession by ensuring our members comply with the rigour and high ethical standards which underpin the designations.

Step 3: Make payment of your membership fees. You will not be required to make payment if your employer has notified us they are covering your membership fees.

Can I make payments over the phone?

The easiest way to fully complete your membership renewal is through our online membership renewal platform. You can access this via a link at the top of our website homepage, via My CA or through the link provided in the reminder email from us. If you are not able to pay online, please call the Member Support Team for assistance.

Where do I find my Tax invoice / Receipt?

After you have completed the membership renewal, you will be directed to the payment portal, where you will be prompted to download your invoice/receipt. Your receipt will also be emailed to your nominated email address upon completion of payment.

If you wish to access your invoices or receipts later, simply log into My CA and in the My Account section, click on the Invoices button located at the bottom of your homepage (full member). For provisional members, the Invoices button will be visible on the middle of the homepage.

Optional charity donation

  • Why are you asking for a donation in my membership renewal?

    Membership renewal is one of the few times a year we are in communication with all our members.

    Therefore, this is an ideal time to highlight some fantastic charity organisations and provide our members the opportunity to donate to them.

  • Why is the charity the National Breast Cancer Foundation in Australia?

    It is uncommon to find a family untouched by the impacts of breast cancer.

    We have partnered with National Breast Cancer Foundation in Australia for 16 years, and we're eager to continue this partnership.

    Importantly, their research contributes enormously to helping people with breast cancer and other cancers, too.

    We are exploring ways to expand our support to more charities for our members in the coming years.

  • Why can’t I donate if I don’t live in Australia?

    If you live outside of Australia, you will not be asked to donate. We encourage those members to donate to their local breast cancer foundations.
