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 (see our Membership statistics), and our RegPM certification program is being widely adopted by Defence organisations across Australia. AIPM Members also have access to unique and valuable IRC Knowledge Resources. Have you logged in lately to see what is there? Perhaps you have forgotten or mislaid your password?

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

Can I renew my membership over the phone using my credit card?

 

Yes, you can – please phone the National Support Office on (02) 8288 8700.  If you require an official AIPM receipt for tax purposes, please ask for it over the phone.

 

Please have  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	Credit Card Security Number (CVV)

 

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.

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, please contact your financial institution.Alternatively, you can pay by credit card, cheque or online (see number 1 above).

 

I am overseas. What currency do I have to pay my renewal fees in?

 

The renewal invoice is issued in Australian Dollars - $AUD.  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 invoice you for the difference. Overseas residents are not subject to GST which will be reflected on your notice.

What is the AIPM ABN? The AIPM ABN is 49 001 443 303.

 

 

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 Financial Controller and they will email you the receipt within a couple of days. If you have paid by cheque, a receipt will be emailed to you at the end of the month. If you have paid by credit card over the phone, you should also request a receipt.

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 need to pay the  $143 upgrade fee at the time of application. You still need to renew your existing membership and pay those fees as well.. Once both your membership renewal and upgrade fee are received your membership will be upgraded. You will need to attach your resume to show that you meet the requirements if you want to upgrade to  Associate or Member level.

I am a Fellow - can I still renew as a Fellow?

 

Yes you can – existing AIPM Fellows simply renew their existing membership as Fellows. 

 

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 our membership team 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); and
• 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 re-instated as a member. Please note that if you do not formally resign and your membership is suspendeda reinstatement fee will be payable at the time of reinstatement. See the last part of the AIPM membership fees for further information about this. You should also be aware that not renewing your membership will result in your RegPM Certification becoming invalid.

As part of the resignation process you are required to return your membership and RegPM certificates to AIPM.
