Membership Categories: (from the Rules of the MDSA Inc.)

The Rules of the Movement Disorder Society of Australia describe three categories of membership; ordinary members, senior members and honorary members (section 3 of the Rules).

Ordinary Members are elected from professional medical personnel working in the field of movement disorders or in kindred fields, who have an active interest in the work and aims of the Society. Members pay dues as set by the Committee and ratified by the body of members. Each ordinary member is entitled to vote in person on each matter at every Meeting of the members. Honorary Members: This is awarded to a person whom the Society wishes to honour for outstanding scientific contributions to the field of movement disorders. Senior Members: This membership will be awarded to members of the Society whom have retired from active work in the medical aspects of movement disorder. Senior membership will be awarded for life and confers exemption from the payment of dues but will still confer eligibility to receive all Society information and literature as circulated to all other classes of members.

A natural person who is eligible to be a member of the Society on payment of the annual subscription payable under the Rules of the MDSA shall be admitted to membership upon (section 4 of the Rules, Application for Membership)

(a) nomination as provided in sub-clause (3) and
(b) approval of application the Committee

Every nomination for Membership shall be made in writing signed by the applicant and shall be in such a form as the Committee from time to time prescribes.
