How to renew
All Individual and Organisation members renew at the same time each year.
We start our renewal period in July each year for continuing members to renew for the coming October 31 to October 31 Membership year. Here’s how to renew during this time and outside of this time:
During the annual renewal period (July to October)
In July, we send all current Members an email with their unique renewal application link. This leads to the pre-filled renewal form.
Step 1: Update and fill in the details on the RAV Form. You can save the form to complete later if needed. Make your payment online or request an invoice via the payment form.
Step 2: If you’re opting for insurance, apply for insurance through the GSA website – you will be directed there after you submit your membership renewal form.
Step 3: We’ll email a receipt once payment has been processed.
Step 4: By 31 October 2025, GSA will email your insurance documentation. A confirmation of your membership will be emailed to you from us. Then you’re all set to continue using your membership benefits!
Please note: If you submit and pay late, you may have a gap in your insurance cover. We will email your confirmation of membership. Insurance documentation, if applicable, will be sent from our broker once the insurance has been paid and approved.
Once renewed, your membership is current until 31 October.
If you’re a member of a Regional Arts Victoria Organisation Member, you are eligible for discounted Individual Membership. Please ask the Organisation you are associated with for further information.
Insurance lapses after 31 days if the renewal is not received and paid. To reactivate Membership and Insurance after 31 days, please follow the instructions below.
Please read our Membership Information FAQ carefully before you renew.
Outside of the annual renewal period (November – July)
If you are not in a position to renew Membership or Insurance before October, you can renew at a later time. However, please be aware that this will not reduce the cost of your membership fee or insurance (by a pro-rata amount) in the coming 2025-2026 membership year.
Step 1: Contact us to request your pre-filled renewal application link.
Step 2: You will receive an email with your unique renewal application link. This leads to the pre-filled renewal form.
Step 3: Update and fill in the details on the RAV Form. You can save the form to complete later if needed. Make your payment online or request an invoice via the payment form.
Step 4: If you’re opting for insurance, apply for insurance through the GSA website – you will be directed there after you submit your membership renewal form.
Step 5: We’ll email a receipt once payment has been processed.
Step 6: GSA will email your insurance documentation. A confirmation of your membership will be emailed to you from us. This may take 2-4 weeks to finalise. Then you’re all set to continue using your membership benefits!
Once renewed, your Membership is current until 31 October. If you plan to continue, you will need to renew again during our renewal period as detailed above.

Don’t worry, this is common. We understand that organisations change governance and art practices get put aside for a while. Just ask us and we are happy to check.
