READMISSION

Previous members can apply for readmission. To do so, you will need to complete an online application. Please note, we cannot guarantee your readmission until we have assessed your application. You can apply to re-join membership with CPA Australia at any time*.

Your application assessment will take 10 to 15 business days to complete. If your membership ceased more than five years ago or if you do not immediately satisfy the criteria for readmission, it will take longer, as your application will be considered on its merits by our Admissions Committee. If your documentation is incomplete or we need additional documentation, this could delay your verification time.

*If a readmission application is received between 1 October 2019 and 31 December 2019, payment for the next year’s membership is also made in advance.
All fees are applicable at the time of application.
