Individual Membership
Join the CRANAplus family for discounted courses and conference attendance, eligibility for scholarships and grants, and multiple other benefits
CRANAplus membership is open to health professionals, care providers, managers, academics, educators, students and those who are no longer a part of the paid health workforce but have a continued interest in the remote or isolated health sector.
People who do not meet this criteria but who are interested in supporting CRANAplus can join as Associate Members. Associate Members have the same benefits as Full Members but do not have voting rights and are not entitled to join the Board of Management.
