Members who have been deemed* unfinancial who have not notified ANF of their resignation who then seek ANF assistance will need to be assessed and their membership restored prior to any service being provided. They will need to pay any arrears in fees if they have been continuously employed in the health or aged care sectors to have their membership reinstated to restore all membership entitlements.

If unfinancial members choose not to pay their arrears and reinstate their membership, the policy applying to Members Joining With a Pre existing Problem will be applied in these circumstances.

*TO BE DEEMED FINANCIAL:

• Lump sum payer (pays 3, 6 or 12 months) upon receipt of an invoice – paid to date must be within 3 months of the current date.
• Quarterly credit card payer, pays 3 months in advance via automatic credit card charge – most recent charge must have been successful otherwise they will be changed to LUMPSUM.
• Direct debit payer, pays fortnightly via automatic deductions from their bank account – most recent charge must have been successful otherwise they will be changed to LUMPSUM.
• Payroll deductions, fortnightly payments automatically deducted from the members pay and forwarded to the ANF by the employer – payments must be received continuously, if there is a break in payments with no contact from the member they will be changed to LUMPSUM (after 2 missed fortnights a letter is sent to the member; after 4 missed payments another letter is sent out and they are changed to LUMPSUM).
