Membership

Membership to CADAD is open to Australian universities eligible for funding under the Australian Higher Education Support Act (2003) who are members of Universities Australia.  If your organisation or institution does not meet this requirement, you may be eligible for Affiliate Membership.  Further details about membership can be found in the CADAD Constitution.  Alternatively, enquiries about membership can be directed to the CADAD Secretary at cadad_sec@usc.edu.au.

Australian membership

Each member institution is represented by an institutional nominee (normally the Director of the central organisational unit within each higher education institution that carries formal responsibility for academic development), chosen by the member institution. Each member is also invited to nominate an alternate.  Attendence at CADAD meetings is restricted to one delegate per member institution.

To join CADAD, please complete the membership application form and send it to the CADAD Secretary.  You will be notified of the outcome of your application within one month of receipt and, if your application is successful, an invoice for payment of membership fees will be sent to you in due course.

The membership fee for 2010 is $1,500.

Affiliate membership

From 2010, it is proposed that overseas universities wishing to have affiliate status may apply to join CADAD on a full or half affiliate membership:

• Affiliate full membership:  For the full annual membership fee, the representative will be entitled to all benefits and access to resources, meetings (including business meetings) and communication as the Australian members
• Affiliate half membership:  For 50% of the annual membership fee, the representative will be entitled to all CADAD communication and access to resources.  Attendance at the CADAD meetings is not included in this membership fee, but the representative may attend any of the meetings by paying a fee of $500 for each meeting attended

Regardless of membership type, affiliate members will not be eligible to vote at business meetings, or hold an executive or formal position.

To enquire about becoming an affiliate member, please contact the CADAD Secretary at cadad_sec@usc.edu.au.
