Asset Management Council Membership Renewal FAQs

by | Jul 2, 2014 | FAQs

It’s that time of year again! Here are some recently asked questions about the new renewal system.

Why is the AM Council managing its own membership renewals?

The Asset Management Council and Engineers Australia, with reluctance, made the decision that the Asset Management Council would take on the renewal process for members in the short term. This splits membership payment into two processes for those who are members of both organisations.
The new Engineers Australia portal, excellently designed for individual members, is not yet easily functional for our corporate member representatives, who represent almost half of our membership. Additional features for the EA portal are still under development, which is why we plan that the situation will revert in the future.

Is there an AM Council membership discount if I’m also an EA member?

We are still clarifying the discount that applies to the first technical society membership of EA members under this current and hopefully temporary system. We will let you know as soon as possible if the discount still is available and can be applied.

Keep your eyes open for more FAQs, and if in doubt, please don’t hesitate to call us on 03 9819 2515.
