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 weekly SSA newsletter and have online access to four copies of the "Australian and New Zealand Journal of Statistics" and six electronic issues of "Significance" each year.

This discounted level of membership is available to members transitioning or having transitioned from full-time university studies to employment within the last three years. The fee is half the cost of full membership, with all the benefits of full membership.
Format
ECSSC2024 is a hybrid event held over four half-days across three in-person hubs. For the best experience, delegates are strongly encouraged to attend one of these hubs either in Perth, Hobart, or Christchurch. Nevertheless, presenters at each hub will be livestreamed to the other hubs and to the online audience.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellations received prior to two weeks before the event will be refunded, minus the Stripe processing fee (1.75% + $0.30 per transaction) and an SSA administration fee of $20.
From then onward no part of the registration fee will be refunded. However, registrations are transferable within the same organisation. Please advise any changes to events@statsoc.org.au.
