The National
Council wishes to encourage former members to renew their professional
membership, to be recognised as a Registered Landscape Architect and to have the opportunity to contribute to their profession.
Each application
for re-registration is considered on a case by case basis as there are many reasons why
former members ceased to be members.
Please fill
out the Former Member Application form - pdf or word and return it to the National Office
complete with as much information as possible and with any extra documentation
as may be required (if you have been gone for an extended period of time an updated CV may be requested).
If possible
return it as a PDF by email to the National Office
This is a preliminsary application form and other processes may be required or futher documentation requested.
If you were a former "Associate/Corporate" member - please be aware that these terms are no longer used. From 2007, full members are classified as Registered Landscape Architects - please see the roles and responsibilities regarding this at: www.aila.org.au/cpd/membership
As part of your application, could you provide your former membership number,
and/or the date when you formally became a member. We need to
search our files, so it helps to know where to start.
Please
also provide a brief statement explaining why your membership ceased.
However, even when all the above can be provided, the application will
need to be individually assessed.
More information may be required - especially if we have no file or little information on your previous membership.
While each
case is considered separately, it could be that you may need to be
fully assessed again, complete with an interview.
But all
of this depends on the information you can supply - and the circumstances of your resignation.
This process of welcoming back 'lost friends' is not to be mistaken as a process whereby registered members can put their registration on hold while they travel or undergo some other changes, and there is a charge to re-apply for membership (details in the application form).
If in doubt,
please ring and talk to the National Office
