Duration of Membership
  • Membership of Chamber NT is subject to payment of an annual membership fee for a period of 12 months, unless otherwise notified.
  • Annual membership commences on the date of acceptance of each membership application.
  • Each renewal of membership is for a further period of 12 months, from the anniversary of the membership acceptance date unless otherwise notified.
Membership Fees
  • The annual membership fee is a set fee based on the category listed on your invoice or direct debit agreement.
  • You agree to pay the amount due on any membership fee invoice (original or renewal, including any amended invoice), within 14 days of the date of the invoice, unless you have elected to pay by credit card via online check out, or have entered into an arrangement to pay your annual membership fee by 12 equal direct-debit instalments, as listed on the Schedule of Benefits.
  • Chamber NT offers an option to pay the annual membership fee under a direct debit arrangement. Under such an arrangement, the annual fee, plus processing costs, will be paid by equal monthly instalments over a 12-month period. If you take up this option, you acknowledge that the membership fee remains annual in duration, and the annual fee becomes due from the first day of the new renewable period. Taking up the direct debit instalment payment option does not convert the membership period from annual to monthly.
  • Annual membership fees are not refundable upon membership resignation.
  • If you direct your financial institution to cease instalments prior to the final instalment under the current arrangement being made, Chamber NT reserves the right to collect the balance of the annual fee that remains outstanding.

  • Membership fees will be reviewed annually and may be subject to an increase at Chamber NT's discretion. You will be given written notice of any change to the annual membership fees at least 14 days prior to the date of renewal. You are deemed to have accepted such a change unless you give written notice of cancellation of your membership within 14 days of notice of the change to the annual membership fees.
Renewal and cancellation of membership services
  • If you do not wish to renew or would like to opt out of your membership, you are required to provide Chamber NT a written notice of resignation of membership 30 days prior to the expiry of the current membership period.

  • A written notice of resignation of your membership should be sent via e-mail to [email protected] or by mail to Membership Engagement, Chamber of Commerce NT, GPO Box 1825, Darwin, 0801.
  • If you do not enter a direct debit arrangement, and your annual membership invoice remains outstanding for more than 60 days from the date it is due for payment, then Chamber NT reserves the right to cancel your membership. Correspondence in the form of email and phone calls will be made reminding you of the amount outstanding and the process of resignation.
