Membership fees are based on the financial year. All memberships expire on the 30th of June each year.

Each Accredited Member accepts the professional obligation to regularly update clinical skills and professional knowledge. The ATMS Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Policy requires an Accredited Member to accumulate 20 CPE points per financial year, with each year being from 1 July to 30 June. Some Health Funds require at least 20 CPE hours/points per year directly related to the therapy concerned, to be completed within a membership year.
Each Accredited Member must maintain a current professional indemnity insurance policy. Please ensure that there is no break or gap in cover, and that policy coverage is continuous for all periods. Members with a break or gap in cover will lead to the loss of recognition with health funds.
Each Accredited Member must maintain a current Provide First Aid Certificate. Please ensure that there is no break or gap in cover, and that the Provide First Aid (or equivalent) Certificate is continuous for all periods. Members should be aware that a break or gap in cover will lead to the loss of recognition with health funds.
