Policy on Reinstating Suspended Memberships
Under the TSANZ Ltd Constitution, as amended, a member’s membership is suspended if the member fails to pay an annual Subscription:
a. Within thirty (30) days after it falls due; and
b. Then fails to rectify this default within twenty (28) days of being notified of the default by the Company.
If after being sent reminder letters and the member’s membership is suspended due to the member’s failure to pay the annual subscription, such member may later on request to reinstate his/her membership after paying the current year’s membership fee plus an administration fee, where applicable.
On 5th February 2016, the Board resolved to remove the $50 administration fee for reinstating suspended memberships. Previous members would only need to pay for the current year’s membership fee to be reinstated.
