Application for membership

​

Submission of the completed form signals the applicant's acceptance of the Association's constitution and, in the case of library membership, nominates a particular
person to represent the library.

​

Upon receipt of the appropriate consent form and membership fee, the Secretary will record the new member's details in the Association's "Register of Members".

​

Completed consent forms and a cheque in Australian $ (payable to "ANZTLA Ltd") for the membership fee should be sent to the ANZTLA Secretary (see Contacts page for details).
