About AACMA Student Membership
Student Membership is open to students enrolled in traditional Chinese medicine courses.
Student Membership enables you to keep abreast of trends in the profession and other issues of importance.
Student Members also enjoy other benefits and concessions which the Association may negotiate from time to time. This includes a significant discount on the delegate rate for attendance at the Australasian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Annual Conference (AACMAC).
Student Members who apply for full membership within 9 months of the end of the semester of course completion are entitled to a waiver of the Application Fee (currently $165) as well as a substantial discount on the first year's practising member fee. This amounts to significant savings on the cost of starting practice.
Other benefits include:
- annual Wall Planner;
- quarterly newsletter - Jing-Luo;
- complementary subscription to the Australian Journal of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, Australia's only peer-reviewed journal for our profession.
Although Student Members are not entitled to vote or stand for election to the Board, they are entitled to elect a Student representative from their campus to local AACMA State Commitee. Student Members are also invited to participate in other activities of the Association.
