ACNP now offers an auto‑renewing membership option. Members can choose this when joining or renewing.
Your credit card details are securely stored, and future membership fees will be automatically charged each year.
To activate auto‑renewal, you’ll need to manually complete your details and payment the first time and accept the auto-renewal terms, with renewal occurring on 31 May each year.
You’ll receive an SMS reminder a few days before the scheduled payment.
For assistance, call 1300 433 660 or email admin@acnp.org.au.
To turn off auto‑renewal, please contact the ACNP National Office at admin@acnp.org.au or call 1300 433 660.
ACNP will convert your membership from auto‑renewal to manual renewal.
You can then renew each year by credit card (online or by phone) or bank transfer.
Your membership expiry date will remain 31 May each year.
ACNP now offers Afterpay to support members. You can select Afterpay on the final payment screen, where credit card details are usually entered.
With Afterpay, your membership fee is paid in four interest‑free instalments over six weeks. The first instalment (approximately 25%) is paid at the time of purchase, with the remaining three instalments automatically deducted from your nominated debit or credit card. ACNP receives the full payment upfront on your behalf.
