Many parts make up a whole in the tourism and travel industry network, including a diverse range of roles, and the ASTW meets the needs of the industry by offering a wide variety of membership categories. The Society welcomes all individuals who wish to join and can meet application criteria. To apply for membership, you need to submit an application form (below). The annual membership fee ($225 inc. GST) is due by 30 June each year.  If a new member joins after 1 January and before 30 June, the membership fee is automatically pro-rated, and a one-off joining fee of $175 (incl. GST) will be added to the fee below. 

Once your application is received, it will be reviewed by the ASTW Board at its next available monthly meeting. On acceptance as a member, you will receive a welcome email, an ASTW information pack,  access to the members-only area of the ASTW website, access to benefits and the ASTW closed Facebook page.

We are here to help, so if you have any questions or problems with the application process, please contact secretariat@astw.org.au.
