AIPM Membership Renewal FAQs |
|
In order to try and make the renewal process as painless and efficient as possible for our Members - and for us! - here is a list of Frequently Asked Questions to hopefully guide you through the process....
If you have a renewals question or query that is NOT here, please email skhisti@aipm.com.au
1) How do I pay to renew my membership, and what are the fees?
The easiest way to pay your AIPM membership renewal fees is via this online form, (also found at the top of every website page, and on the Home Page), using the information from the renewal notice that was sent to you, and a credit card.
You can also send a cheque or money order together with a copy of your renewal notice to:
AIPM Accounts,
Level 9, 139 Macquarie St
Sydney NSW 2000
Australia
The current Annual Renewal Fees for all categories of AIPM membership can be found at AIPM Membership Fees

2) Can I renew my membership over the phone using my credit card?
Yes you can – please phone Susmita Khisti on (02) 8288 8753. If you require an official AIPM receipt for tax purposes, please ask for it over the phone.
You will need these handy when you call:
| - your AIPM membership number |
- your name |
| - the amount due |
- Credit Card Number & type (eg Visa) |
| - your phone number |
- Credit Card holders name |
| - Credit Card expiry date |

3) Does my payment include GST?
Yes it does – all TOTAL renewal (and membership fees) come inclusive of GST. Please make sure that it is the TOTAL amount that you are paying.
4) Can I pay my renewal via BPAY like last year?
Yes. You need to be set up with your bank, credit union or building society to make BPAY payments. For more information about BPAY contact your financial institution or go to http://www.bpay.com.au Alternatively, you can pay by credit card, cheque or online (see number 1 above).
5) I am overseas. What currency do I have to pay my renewal fees in?
The renewal invoice is issued in Australian Dollars - $AUD. Overseas Members renewing their membership who are not using a credit card are asked to please pay their membership renewal in Australian Dollars. If you are paying your renewal using an international bank transfer, please ensure that you ADD any bank fees/charges for this service on TOP of the full renewal amount, otherwise the bank fees charged will come out of your total payment, and we will have to invoice you for the difference.
6) What is the AIPM ABN?
The AIPM ABN is 49 001 443 303.
7) I need a receipt for my renewal fees for tax purposes. How long will it take?
If you pay online a receipt will be issued to you by the online system online itself, but if you wish to have an official AIPM receipt for tax purposes you need to contact Susmita Khisti and she will email you the receipt within a couple of days. If you have paid by cheque a receipt will definitely be emailed to you at the end of the month. If you have paid by credit card over the phone, you will also have to request a receipt from Susmita Khisti.
8) Can I upgrade my membership at Renewal time?
If you are interested in upgrading your membership at renewal time, then please go to Upgrade Membership Form and fill it out. You will be invoiced $110 for the upgrade. You still need to renew your existing membership and pay those fees as well. You can pay both invoices at the same time. Once your invoices are paid, your membership will be upgraded.
Please don’t forget that you need to hold a RegPM certification or attach your resume if you want to upgrade from Associate to Member level.
9) I am a Fellow - can I still renew as a Fellow?
Yes you can – existing AIPM Fellows simply renew their existing membership as Fellows. We are currently not accepting any new Fellow applications, as this membership category and process is currently under review.
10) Why should I renew my AIPM membership?
AIPM is the peak body for Project Management in Australia. Membership of AIPM has grown strongly across all industries and sectors in 2005, (see our Membership Statistics), and our RegPM Certification Program is currently being widely adopted by Defence organisations across Australia, which is not only a world-first, but a clear indication of its real value. AIPM Members also have access to unique and valuable IRC Knowledge Resources & Services, many of which are very comprehensive (eg the IRC Bibliographies) and login-access only. Have you logged in lately to see what is there? Perhaps you have forgotten or mislaid your password?
See the AIPM Benefits Page for a full list of reasons why you should renew your professional project management membership with us!
11) I do not wish to renew my membership at this stage - what do I do?
If you no longer wish to be a financial member of AIPM and do not want to renew this year, please email Susmita Khisti at skhisti@aipm.com.au, stating clearly:
- your name and membership number
- that you wish to resign from AIPM, or have your membership suspended for a specified period (eg for maternity leave)
- the reason(s) why you wish to end your membership with us (eg retirement, no longer working as a project manager, etc)
Should your circumstances change in the future, you can be easily re-instated as a member - see the last part of the AIPM membership fees for further information about this.
