Membership entitlements are available for people and organisations holding an Australian Credit Licence (ACL), an Australian Financial Service Licence (AFSL), or those who are credit registered with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). Membership fees are determined by the nature of the financial services provider's business operations. Membership fees start at $350. This fee is applicable if you are acting as, for example, a finance or mortgage broker, financial planner or financial adviser.
If you have additional employees and/or directors acting as representatives engaged in credit activities, or any AFSL authorised representatives, there is an additional fee of $100 for each representative. The membership fees for other business types such as lenders, mortgage and loan managers etc can be found in the membership application form.

If you are, or have been offered to be authorised as a Credit Representative of an ACL holder or credit registered entity, the annual membership fee for each Credit Representative is $125. As a Credit Representative applicant, you will need to provide confirmation of the intention of authorisation as a Credit Representative from your credit registered entity or licensee when applying for membership. Please ensure to include this in your application.
