All membership applications are carefully reviewed by the APVAGA Membership Committee. Our team evaluates each application to ensure eligibility and completeness based on the chosen membership category. Once reviewed, eligible applicants are contacted by the APVAGA team to complete the registration and payment process.

APVAGA has a membership year that runs from 1 June to 31 May, and deadlines for applications may vary between different types of membership. We will send you a confirmation email after you submit your application with more information about when you can expect to hear from us.

Yes, we will contact you by email regardless of the outcome of your application. Although we aim to contact all applicants in a timely fashion, you may not hear from us at the same time as other applicants.

Once your membership is confirmed, you’ll receive a welcome email with your Membership ID and branding guidelines. You’ll also gain access to the APVAGA Member Portal, where you can manage your profile and stay updated on association activities. Members receive a digital and physical ID card for official recognition within the AVGC-XR community. You’ll be notified about upcoming events, meetings, and initiatives, including opportunities to participate in the Annual General Meeting (AGM) as part of the association’s governance process.

We expect new members to accept the offer of membership by making a payment within four weeks of being accepted.

Memberships are valid for one year from the date of joining or renewal. You will receive reminders from the APVAGA Membership Team before your membership expiry, so you can renew on time and continue enjoying uninterrupted access to member benefits.

APVAGA has always believed in being open about what data we collect from our members and what we do with it. Find out more in our membership privacy policy.
