Australian and New Zealand Psychodrama Association Inc

Membership

ANZPA offers a range of membership categories outlined below. All members receive communications about ANZPA conferences and meetings along with occasional newsletters and our annual journal. Membership of ANZPA also brings automatic membership to the ANZPA regional association in your area. ANZPA Inc maintains a membership database of addresses and relevant details. It is a member’s responsibility to notify the Membership Secretary of changes to these details. Up to date records permit the easy dissemination of notices and material as well as maintaining an accurate membership directory, which is published on the ANZPA’s website for members only.

Ordinary Membership

Ordinary Membership is open to practitioners who hold a current practice certificate issued by the ANZPA Inc Board of Examiners on payment of a fee. Ordinary Members are eligible to be nominated and elected to the ANZPA Executive and to vote at the AGM.

Associate Membership

Associate Membership is open to those who have a demonstrated commitment to the Association and its goals and principles through undertaking ongoing training with an ANZPA accredited institute for at least 6 months. Their application must include a sponsor’s letter from an Ordinary or Distinguished Member who is involved in their training and be accompanied by the relevant membership fee. Associate Membership is a requirement for advanced trainees. Associate Members are not eligible to stand on the Executive Committee of ANZPA Inc or vote at its general meetings; otherwise they have the rights and responsibilities of Ordinary Members. ANZPA offers a reduced fee to Associate Members during their first two consecutive years of membership.

Other Membership Categories

ANZPA may also appoint Ordinary Members as Distinguished Members and may admit any person as an Honorary Distinguished Member. Categories of non-practicing membership may also be made available to Ordinary Members in certain circumstances such as retirement from practice.

President’s Mailing List is available to people who are not eligible for membership to ANZPA Inc and who wish to be assured of receiving publications and notices of events. These people may include those with overseas qualifications who are resident in Australia or New Zealand and waiting for certification by ANZPA Inc, international applicants, professional associations and other interested professional people.
