Transferring your membership
Transfer of membership from one institution to another is not automatic.
Members who move from one Branch to another MUST fill out a new form - this is NOT because you are rejoining but because the National Office requires a number of new details including:
- New home address details
- New institution details including department/faculty/campus details
- New position details including classification and step/increment information
- Details of preferred payment option and the relevant banking details
The National Office needs this information to ensure:
- the correct membership fees are deducted (fees vary from Branch to Branch),
- your contact details are accurate,
- your Union mail is sent to the correct address,
- the date on which you originally joined the NTEU is maintained for the purposes of membership continuity,
- a duplicate record is not created on the national membership database.
You should contact your local Branch as soon as you start at the new institution to arrange to fill out the paperwork. The form should be clearly marked 'Transfer of Membership', which will alert the National Membership Officer to check the relevant membership number and alter your details as indicated.
