FAQs

When does the new model go into effect?

It is in effect now. We launched the new model in October of 2023.

How do I move to the new model? Your membership will transition to the new category that best suits your needs at your next renewal date. We will touch base with you 4-6 weeks before your renewal to discuss your options and help you determine which category is right for you and your business. If you would like to move to the new model before your renewal date, that's great! Just give us a call at 0800 50 50 96 or email our membership team.
How is the new model different from my existing membership?

There are three significant changes to the membership model.

  • New categories and add-ons that are member-centric, enabling you to choose which options suit you best.

  • New opportunities within the new model such as assessment tools, resources, profile opportunities etc. that are designed to provide you with additional value.

  • New technology and digital tools will enable us to provide you with a much more proactive, personalised customer experience. 

If I pay monthly am I able to cancel my membership at any time?

No. Pricing is based on a 12-month membership subscription that can be paid in one lump sum or be spread out over 12 monthly payments. We are upgrading our payment system to provide you with a convenient way to pay for your membership online and over time.

Will I still have access to the same benefits under the new model? The new model is designed to ensure there is something for everyone and that benefits align with your stage of business and give you access to services that are specific to your needs.  This new model is tiered which means not all categories will have access to the same benefits, but it does offer flexibility to add on services if you find you need something that is not offered at the level you have selected. We encourage you to explore the categories and our add-on modules for HR, Global Trade and Manufacturing. And please, reach out to our team if you have any questions.
How do I know which category is right for my business? We encourage you to explore our membership options and see what best aligns with your needs. Our team are happy to have a chat with you to discover the right membership category for you and your organisation.
What are my payment options? We are launching new payment options that will make your payments and annual renewals a seamless experience. You have the choice of which payment method and frequency best suits your organisation.
