Introducing a new benefit initiative for Companies sponsoring their employees

If you have wanted greater benefits for your company for supporting the membership of your employees, this is the program for you!

Introducing the SCAA Corporate Sponsored Member Program! You now have the opportunity to register your Organisation as a SCAA Corporate Member Sponsor!

  • Organisations can become a SCAA Corporate Member Sponsor (Members become Corporate Sponsored Members) for one low rate of only $1,050 plus GST. For this low rate you can join up to 5 members per annum. It is cheaper for your employees to be sponsored than to pay for four staff at regular prices. Join additional members and experience the Sponsor Program Benefits!
  • Under this program additional members (after the initial 5 up to a maximum of 10) can be joined for just $160 per member** (plus GST)
  • Corporate Member Sponsors receive benefits listed above PLUS:
    • Company acknowledged as a Corporate Member Sponsor on the SCAA website
    • FREE advertising for employment opportunities
    • Opportunities to promote your Organisation’s innovations through LinkedIn!
    • Additional discounts on textbooks and SCAA Courses.
    • A FREE quarter page advertisement p.a. in the SCAA Coatings Journal

Are you a smaller organisation wanting these same great benefits?

If you only have one or two members to join, you can still become a Corporate Member Sponsor and get all the promotional benefits for the same low fee. These are unbeatable promotions on offer as part of this program. Should you take on or wish to join up more staff you can do so at any time during the financial year!

Now more than ever, it pays to be a part of Australia’s most prestigious Surface Coatings network! Your employees can still join individually, or you can assist by becoming a Corporate Sponsor.

Plus, you will also be kept informed of events and current topics through newsletters; and receive a FREE annual subscription to SCAA Coatings Journal magazine and access to the SCAA Raw Material database.

**Note: any new members you wish to join will need to complete a new membership form.

Provisos for Corporate Member Sponsors:

Above references to ‘the year’ refer to the SCAA financial year.

In accordance with the current SCAA Constitution, Corporations are not members of SCAA. All employees included as Corporate Sponsored Members remain individual members. This program does not confer any membership rights on Corporations.

If an individual, who is part of the Corporate Sponsored Member Program, leaves the Sponsor’s employ, that individual retains the membership rights for the balance of the SCAA financial year.

The Corporate Sponsor may replace any sponsored member, for the remainder of that financial year, at no extra charge.

The Corporate Sponsor may replace that individual with another employee under the following conditions:

  1. If the departing employee was part of the initial 5 nominated members, the company may replace that individual at no charge (during the financial year). A new application form must be completed.
  2. If the departing employee was an extra member (>5), i.e. joined at $160, that person can also be replaced at no additional cost, for the remainder of the SCAA financial year. A new application form must be completed.
