Payment methods

ATEC offers two options for payment of membership fees. One-off total payment in full by Visa or MasterCard ; or instalments by direct debit (see below).

 

How can I pay my fees by direct debit in one single, quarterly or monthly instalments?

Please note that you will have to select 'Cheque/EFT' as the payment method upon checkout. You must complete a direct debit form here or your application will not be presented to the ATEC National Board for review. You can choose to set up single, quarterly or monthly direct debit facility with us and your fees will be automatically deducted from your account if your application is approved. 

 

How long does it take to complete the online application form?

If you have all of your above-mentioned documentation ready to be uploaded, completing the application should take 15-20 minutes to complete.

 

What's next after completing the application?

Following the completion of the application form and confirmation of the supporting documentation, your submission will be presented to the ATEC National Board for approval. Please note, final approval of membership resides with the ATEC National Board and under no circumstances is the Board required to provide any reason for their decision (including declined applications). Once your application is approved, we will be in touch again to formally welcome you to the Australian Tourism Export Council.
