Our New Online Application System is Now Live

11/09/2026

We're pleased to confirm that our new online application and screening system is now live.

The new system replaces the previous paper and PDF-based process for new membership applications.

If you are an existing Associate Member wishing to upgrade to Full Membership, or an existing Full Member looking to add additional categories, please use the contact form to get in touch with the office in the first instance. We are currently finalising the guidelines for these processes and will be in touch to guide you through the next steps.

If you're still using the old system for a new application: paper and PDF applications will be accepted until 30th September 2026. After this date the old system will no longer be in use. If you haven't started an application yet, and are not an existing member, we'd encourage you to use the new online system from this point forward.
