Discounts and Concessions

The Institute recognises that from time to time members may experience personal circumstances that result in financial difficulty. To enable members to maintain their membership and to enable the Institute to maintain its wealth of knowledge and expertise, various options are made available for both payment plans and fee reductions.

Fee Concessions are considered on a case-by-case basis, and the CEO has the discretion to approve individual requests for reduced fees due to a range of circumstances such as: retirement, prolonged unemployment or reduction in work hours (below 0.5 FTE), parenting leave and significant personal hardship.

For further information regarding fee concessions please contact the PIA National Office by e-mail at renewals@planning.org.au or by telephone at (02) 6262 5933.
