Group Membership

Group Memberships are available for Groups of five or more people from a single organisation. 

The Group receives a 10% discount, and in return must contribute to ABSANZ a committee member; a newsletter article or present a webinar, for each multiple of five members (for example, a group of 7 might contribute a committee member plus a newsletter article, or film a facility tour plus host a webinar).  The Group leader purchases a Group Membership and they can then add the other members.  All members get all benefits.  The Group Leader can swap out the members as staff change.  Our Association Manager can help with bringing the Group together.  Perfect for Insitutional Biosafety Committees (accomodates the Chair, Executive Officer, Facility Manager and two IBC members), Government Departments who want to pay under a single invoice, or businesses who have multiple staff who would benefit from being members.
