To Apply Online

To Apply Via Post

To join the PAA you need to complete an Application for Membership. This can be done electronically [here] or manually by downloading a form [here]. This application form must include a nomination by two current PAA members (proposed and seconded). Downloaded membership forms, along with a completed Direct Debit form for payments should be sent to:

Helen Wattie
Operations Manager
PAA
PO Box 911335
Victoria Street West
Auckland 1142

Electronic applications are automatically forwarded to the PAA but you will still need to send your direct debit to the above address.

Your application form will then be copied to the Regional Chair to be reviewed, and a recommendation made to the Board in regard to the acceptance of your application for membership.  Please also note that a copy may be sent to your nominator and seconder for review.

If your application is completed correctly, the Regional Chair will give preliminary approval, and you will receive from Techcertain an e-mail giving you a password so you can go online to their website to complete and submit your Professional Indemnity Insurance declaration. Payments will commence for your Professional Indemnity Insurance, and chosen membership options. Your application will then go forward to the next PAA Board Meeting for ratification. Once the application has been approved or declined by the PAA Board, a letter will sent to the applicant by the PAA Administration team advising of their decision.  Note that applications can take up to 3 weeks to process.
