Members Radiology and Radiation Oncology
The College is a not-for-profit company owned by its members. There are six categories of membership: Associate Members, Educational Affiliates, Fellows, Honorary Fellows, Life Members and Student Members. Each category has particular rights, entitlements and responsibilities prescribed in the College's Articles of Association.
Associate Membership
Associate Membership of the College is available to a person who is not a medical practitioner but is a graduate of a university approved by the Council and has had at least two years relevant experience. It may also be available to someone who has given distinguished service in a sphere associated with radiology or radiation oncology.
Educational Affiliate Membership
The category of Educational Affiliate was established by the College Council in recognition that there are registered radiologists who are not Fellows of the College but who wish to establish an association with, and would benefit from, the educational activities, meetings and seminars organised by the College.
Educational Affiliate Membership Process
To become an Educational Affiliate of the College, a membership form needs to be completed, signed by a Branch Chair or Secretary and submitted to the College office.
