The Statistical Society offers the membership listed below. For pricing, please click here.

Full membership

Members will receive the monthly SSA newsletter and have online access to four copies of the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Statistics each year.

Retired membership

This Membership is available to retired Statisticians, regardless of whether or not they were members of SSA during their careers. Retired  members will receive the monthly SSA newsletter and have online access to four copies of the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Statistics each year.

Full-time student membership

Discounted student membership of SSA is available to those who are engaged in full-time studies and do not have an income.  If you earn a salary you will generally not qualify for student membership.  If you are unsure of your status please feel free to contact SSA at eo@statsoc.org.au with information about your student status and employment status (full-time, part-time, casual or permanent, name of employer) and an individual assessment will be made.
Please email evidence of your current full-time enrolment status to SSA’s membership officer to eo@statsoc.org.au after signing up. This can be either a copy of the student identity card issued by the educational institution or a document providing evidence signed and verified by the institution.  If proof of full-time student status has not been received within 14 days of signing up with SSA, the membership application will be rejected and a refund issued, minus a $10 admin fee.
Student members will receive the monthly SSA newsletter and have online access to four copies of the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Statistics each year.

Transitional membership

This discounted level of membership is only available to current student members transitioning from university studies to employment. Transitional members will receive the monthly SSA newsletter and have online access to four copies of the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Statistics each year.

Perpetual membership

If you are over 50, have been a member for ten or more years,  and you like the idea of paying for your membership once and never again having to think about renewing it or scrambling for invoices at tax time, this membership type is for you. Contact the SSA Executive Officer for a quote at eo@statsoc.org.au.

Full membership for members of the NZSA

Members of the NZSA receive a discount on SSA's full membership fee (see current fees here).  Accredited members please contact the SSA office to change to this membership type.

Subscriber-ANZSTAT Discussion Forum

This is not actually a membership with SSA. Being a subscriber only allows you to post and comment on the ANZSTAT discussion forum.  This category does not include any member benefits, such as discounts to events, access to the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Statistics or reduced subscription rates to "Significance". There is no fee for Subscribers.

Annual accreditation fee

AStat accredited members pay an annual Accreditation Fee of $55 AUD ($50 AUD for residents outside Australia).

Change of mind?

If you take out paid membership and change your mind within a month of becoming a member, we will credit your membership fee back to you,  provided you have not attended any member-only events or attended events where you took advantage of a member discount.  A $20 admin fee will apply.  Please email the SSA office if you have changed your mind.
