As we approach 2025, the Trustee Board has recommended a 3% increase in member subscriptions. This decision reflects the current economic environment, where inflation continues to impact all sectors, including the College. We want to assure our members that this adjustment was made after careful consideration, with a continued commitment to minimising costs and maximising value for your membership.

The updated subscription rates for 2025 are outlined in Tables 1 and 2 below. As always, subscriptions are due on 1 January each year.
