Subscriptions and payment
Your organisation will complete a payment summary if it intends to pay for any subscriptions on behalf of its practitioners. These subscriptions may include practising certificates, membership fees, other fees and accreditation.
The organisation should advise which, if any, subscription/s it is paying for.
If the organisation is paying for any subscriptions, for example, a practising certificate, then no payment for a practising certificate will be required. These selections have been noted in each employee’s renewal application.
QLS Membership
If you are not yet a QLS member, you can apply to become one as part of the renewal process. As a member you will gain access to exclusive services and benefits, to help build your practice and your profile.
Find out more about the benefits and opportunities for members.
Professional Standards Scheme
If your employer has elected to participate in the scheme, you must be a QLS member and participate in the scheme. You will have no option to be exempt from the professional standards scheme and membership when completing your renewal application.
If you require any assistance, practitioners can contact the Records and Member Services team on 1300 367 757 or email records@qls.com.au.
