BAA Announces Membership Fee Update After 14 Years

The British Academy of Audiology (BAA) has announced its first membership fee adjustment in 14 years, set to take effect on 1st April. This decision comes after careful consideration, as the organisation strives to maintain high-quality services amid rising operational costs.

The new fee structure will be:

• Full members: £90
• Associate/Retired members: £45
• International members: £120

Despite the increase, BAA remains committed to delivering excellent value, offering benefits such as CPD support, career guidance, exclusive publications, expert-led webinars, and networking opportunities. A key highlight for 2025 is the launch of the BAA E-learning Hub, designed to enhance professional development.

Members paying by direct debit can opt for annual or three-instalment payments. For further details, contact Michelle or Hollie at 01625 290046 or email admin@baaudiology.org.
