How to join

Membership is open to all with an interest in statistics and the Society's objectives. Membership is normally based on that of one of the branches, though those whose residence is remote from a branch may apply to be a member-at-large. The six branches are: New South Wales, Victoria, Australian Capital Territory, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia. The Victorian and New South Wales branches also have regional groups in Tasmania and Illawarra, respectively. Membership for full time students and retired persons is at half rates. Institutional membership is also available on application.
