Organisational fees are based on a sliding scale according to the income of the organisation. Individual fees are divided into waged and unwaged. All overseas individuals and organisations are categorised as associate members.
We are mindful of the cost implications of joining, however, we strive to ensure that our fees reflect the AONTAS ethos of being inclusive and accessible to all individuals and organisations. We recommend joining as a group, whether you are a group of learners or a large organisation as it is more economical for you and gives us greater weight for lobbying.
If you have any questions please contact Niamh O'Reilly or Dympna Larkin, phone 01 4068220.
