Changes to the registration/membership process from 2026

In accordance with our new constitution (and the requirements of the Incorporated Societies Act) we have made some changes to the registration/membership process:

1. Consent to being a member of NZALT

From now on when you register as a new member, you will be asked to consent to being a member of NZALT.

If you no longer wish to be a member of NZALT, you must inform us in writing (see Rule 14). You can email: membership@nzalt.org.nz. 

All people who were members in 2025 will be considered to be members already, so you do not need to reregister, but please check that your contact details are correct.

1. Financial/unfinancial member

Each year we send out invoices. People will have one month to pay. If they pay by the due date they will be considered financial members, and if they don’t pay within that time then they will become unfinancial members until such time as they pay. 

Unfinancial members cannot vote, attend meetings etc but are still officially members (see Rule 13.3).

1. Privacy Disclosure:

We collect personal information from you, including information about your name and contact information.

We collect your personal information in order to know who our members are and be able to contact them. As required by the Incorporated Societies Act 2022, if you do not provide this information we are unable to accept your membership application  

We keep your information for seven years from the date you cease to be a member, at which point we securely destroy it.

You have the right to ask for a copy of any personal information we hold about you, and to ask for it to be corrected if you think it is wrong. If you’d like to ask for a copy of your information, or to have it corrected, please contact us at membership@nzalt.org.nz.

NOTES

For ALL current recipients of the NZALT newsletter, an online profile has been created on our new system in 2023. If you haven't logged in yet, but would like to log in, check/ update your details or apply for NZALT membership, please follow the instructions above (1).

If you cannot reset your password, or if more than one profile has been created, email membership@nzalt.org.nz.

From 2023, you will only be able to receive the newsletter to your primary email address. So if you would like to change your email address, log into your profile and update your contact information.
