You may opt to pay your membership fees monthly (whereby you are deducted ongoing monthly fees), or annually (whereby you pay an annual upfront, discount fee). By choosing to pay monthly, you agree to abide by the minimum 12-month membership term applicable to all monthly memberships (unless stated otherwise, see the ‘Events and Promotions’ section below).

Annual members due for renewal will be sent email reminders prior to the renewal date.
MHA Micro-Credential Courses are in-depth training programs led by subject-matter experts. Each Micro-Credential Course requires an individual enrolment process and course fee separate to MHA membership (MHA financial members are able to access discounted rates).

Unless stated otherwise (see the ‘Special Offers’ section below), the associated cost of a Monthly Membership is for the full duration of the minimum term (i.e. 12 months). Cancellations received within the minimum term period will accrue a cancellation fee equal to the unpaid portion of the minimum term. For example, a cancellation received 3 months prior to the end of the membership period will accrue a cancellation fee of 3 times the monthly membership fee. The cancellation fee will be applied automatically upon processing of cancellation to the account’s registered credit card.
*Self-service cancellation is only available for members who have completed their minimum membership term requirements. Cancellation requests within minimum term periods must be submitted via email.

This policy applies irrespective of whether or not you have logged on to your member dashboard and utilised membership resources. Refunds may be provided in special circumstances in accord with relevant consumer law.
