Small print
Our membership forms contain sections of legally and/or financially required text, which by necessity of space are printed in very small type. For your convenience, those sections are presented here in larger, easier to read type:

Direct Debit Request (DDR) Service Agreement
1. This is an agreement between you and NTEU.
2. Under this Agreement, you arrange to have deducted from your account, on the 15th day in each calendar month (working day), the appropriate amount of dues and levies, payable under NTEU’s Rules, to NTEU (the debit user). If you are uncertain as to when the debit will be processed please contact NTEU on 03 9254 1910. These arrangements will not change, although the amount may vary in accordance with decisions of your elected NTEU Councils and Committees. You will be notified, in writing, of any changes at least fourteen (14) days prior to their implementation.
3. For all matters relating to the Direct Debit arrangements, including deferments and alterations, you will need to send written correspondence to PO Box 1323, Sth Melbourne, 3205 and allow 10 days for the amendments to take effect.
4. You may stop any Debit item or cancel a DDR with NTEU at any time in writing. All correspondence is to be addressed to NTEU General Secretary, PO Box 1323, Sth Melbourne, 3205.
5. Should any dispute ever arise between you and NTEU about your payments you should advise NTEU General Secretary in writing or by email (nteunat@nteu.org.au) in the first instance and, if necessary, NTEU will take advice from your financial institution.
6. It is your responsibility to have sufficient clear funds to meet the costs of payment under this Agreement. NTEU however, does not have a policy of recovering any penalty fees from members if debit items are returned unpaid by the ledger financial institution.
7. You should be aware that: direct debiting through BECS is not available on all types of accounts; and, account details should be checked against a recent statement from your financial institution. If uncertain, check with your ledger financial institution before completing the DDR.
8. NTEU does not use your financial records and account details for any purpose except the collection of union dues and the information is only available to a small number of NTEU employees. The details may be provided to your financial institution if a claim was made against that institution of an alleged incorrect or wrongful debit.
Membership Declaration
You may resign by written notice to the Division or Branch Secretary. Where you cease to be eligible to become a member, resignation shall take effect on the date the notice is received or on the day specified in your notice, whichever is later. In any other case, you must give at least two weeks notice. Members are required to pay dues and levies as set by the Union from time to time in accordance with NTEU rules. Further information on financial obligations, including a copy of the rules, is available from your Branch.
