Membership Type Change Fees
Members are able to change from Practicing to Non-Practicing (or vice versa) membership types once per year at no additional cost. Please note that you can only complete that change once during the annual membership renewal period - the system will not allow more than one change. Any subsequent changes must be requested in the new year (after January 1st). Members are limited to a maximum of 2 membership type changes per membership year.
Within the renewal period (November 15th - December 31st):
- First membership type change = no charge
*If a member has already renewed their membership for the following membership year during renewal period, they are only eligible for one membership type change, at no additional cost. Any subsequent membership type changes will have to be requested after January 1st and will incur additional costs (see fees outlined below)
Outside of the renewal period (January 1st - November 14th):
- First membership type change = $15 +GST
- Second membership type change = $100 +GST
Membership type changes need to be carefully considered - they are not intended to be a 'back and forth' type of change - it is for when your work circumstances change (e.g. you change from working with clients in clinical or community based healthcare settings as a practicing kinesiologist to working in a management or other role where you do not provide direct client care services - or vice versa).
Late Renewal Fee
- $100 + GST (In addition to the applicable membership fee)
- Applies to Practicing and Non-Practicing Memberships which are renewed between January 1st and January 31st of the current membership year. Membership becomes "not in good standing" after December 31st.
Membership Reinstatement Fee
- $200 + GST (In addition to the applicable membership fee)
- Applies to Practicing and Non-Practicing Memberships which are not renewed by the end of the late renewal period (Jan 31st).
