Membership Renewal and Reinstatement

Online Renewals

DAA members are now able to renew/reinstate/defer their membership online, this requires little or no paper work. All current and previous members can use the online renewal facility. The following payment options are available: credit card, cheque, money order, direct debit* or quarterly instalments (Please note: Conditions apply to instalment payments and *Direct debit is for payment in full only).

Postal Renewals 

Renewing and Reinstating members can now download their own personalised renewal/reinstatement papers.  Payment options are the same as for online renewals. Members should ensure that all required documentation is returned with their renewal application, including completed APD declaration (for members renewing). APD Online must be used to document CPD undertaken. Further documentation can be obtained on the 'Postal renewal/reinstatement' page. If you are unable to download your own forms please contact the Membership Officer.

Students Converting

To convert from student to a full membership you need to:

• send a certified official document* as evidence that you have successfully completed your course. A certified copy of your academic transcript or your actual degree is required.  All evidence of completion needs to be an official document with the name of the university, your name, the complete title of the dietetic course, the course code and the date of completion with 'successfully completed the requirements'; or 'Awarded'; or 'Course status: completed'; or 'eligible to graduate'.
• inform DAA if your situation changes during the year eg. if you start paid employment you will need to advise us of the start date and the number of hours per week you are working. You will then be advised of your new membership category and any additional fee you need to pay.
  

* DAA requires evidence of your qualifications to be certified by an authorised certifier. For further information refer to certification document. 

Please note: It is your responsibilty to ensure you are a full member and have APD status before you see clients claiming on Medicare or private health insurance.
