Membership is calculated based on your number of full-time employees (FTE). Current pricing: 1-20 employees – $350, 21-40 – $700, 41+ – $1,400 (GST exclusive).

Can everyone from our company have a login? How do I get it?

Can I promote my business, service or events through the Chamber?

Can I still join if I don't have a business?

Yes. You can join as an individual under Category A membership.

What do I get for being a member?

Members enjoy free and discounted events, training, networking opportunities, marketing exposure, and access to a supportive local business community.

What should I do after joining the Chamber?

Get involved! Attend events, connect with other members, and make use of our resources. The more you participate, the more value you’ll gain from your membership.

How do I pay my annual membership fees online?

Follow the payment instructions on your invoice or log in to the Members Portal to pay via the Billing tab. If no invoice appears, your account is up to date.

How can my company sponsor a Chamber event or programme?
