Late Renewal Fees

Make sure your membership renewal payment is received on or before the due date of March 31 of each year. Additional costs will be incurred for late payments based on the following payment schedule.

Professional Membership Late Fees

These changes will be implemented in full by our next renewal season. Current memberships in good standing are valid until March 31, 2025. Increased late fees will begin on April 1, 2026

Currently the late fee structure is:

  • 0 - 30 days after the March 31 deadline: $300.00 + $50.00 = $350.00 + GST
  • 1 - 12 months after the March 31 deadline: $300.00 + $100.00 = $400.00 + GST
  • 12 - 24 months after the March 31 deadline: $300.00 + $150.00 = $450.00 + GST
  • 24 - 36 months after the March 31 deadline: $300.00 + $200.00= $500.00 + GST

Updated Fees are as follows:

  • 0 - 30 days after the March 31 deadline: $300.00 + $50.00 = $350.00 + GST*
  • 1 - 12 months after the March 31 deadline: $300.00 + $100.00 = $400.00 + GST*
  • 13 - 24 months after the March 31 deadline: $300.00 + $300.00 = $600.00 + GST**
  • 25 - 36 months after the March 31 deadline: $300.00 + $600.00 = $900.00 + GST**

This fee schedule will commence on April 1, 2026

 

While we recognize that late fees can present financial challenges, we also need to address an identified issue in our previous late fee structure. The former system unintentionally allowed some members to delay renewing until every third year without consequence. This approach created an imbalance and was not equitable to members who renew their membership annually. The updated structure aims to ensure fairness and consistency for all ATRA members.

* You will retain access to your Member Profile, email correspondence, Long Service Recognition Program and any committee participation. All other member rights and responsibilities are suspended until renewed.

** You will retain access to your Member Profile only. Long Service Recognition Program starts at Year 1. All other member rights and responsibilities are suspended until renewed.

Late Renewal of 3 years or more after the deadline = Apply through ATRA's Return to Practice Pathway. Long Service Recognition Program starts at Year 1.
