The ARCS Board has moved to better define the membership categories, and Full Membership will be only available to those based in Australia and working primarily in or for the industry in therapeutic development roles. ARCS have established a new Class of membership called Overseas Associates to encourage membership from all the various countries with an interest in the Australian research environment and ARCS services. Their goal is to be able to meet the needs of this group more effectively in the future through e-learning and the development of co-operative agreements with organizations in their country.

To this end ARCS have agreed to allow members of NZACRes to join ARCS at a discounted rate of $89 AUD. As a special Overseas Associate Member of ARCS, NZACRes members will be eligible for all member benefits (member-only areas of the website, information services, discounted attendance at ARCS events etc), including the DIA e-membership. The new ARCS Constitution will apply to applications and renewals and at renewal members will be asked to confirm their status and any change will only be implemented then.

The Royal Society of New Zealand offers a subsidised rate of membership to financial members of it's constituent societies. As NZACRes is a constituent society, our members are offered a membership subscription to the Royal Society for $38 per annum.

The Royal Society will distribute their ALERT newsletter to all members, and other benefits can be viewed on their website www.rsnz.govt.nz

If you wish to take advantage of this offer, please download the membership application form, and send it to NZACRes along with a cheque made payable to the Royal Society of NZ.
