ANZASW membership benefits

Membership discounts

We offer discounts on membership fees for full members and some graduates.

You may be eligible if you earn under $60,000 p/a (gross) or if you’re a new graduate without organisational support.

Discounts are only available to those in the practising social worker category as the other categories are already reduced in cost.
