*A reminder that Dues are pro-rated monthly, so you only pay for the number of months remaining until May 31st, at which point you would need to renew to continue your registration. For example: If you join in January, your registration is valid from January to May. Renewal is required by May 31 to continue your registration.

To view the pro-rated registration dues please see the tables below.

Practitioner is our main registration class for new applicants. If you are not eligible to join as either a Student or an Allied Professional, this is the class you would apply for – and you can join as a Practitioner even if you are not currently practising HR.
