Registered exercise professionals and exercise industry association members from Australia and New Zealand will be able to transfer their remaining registration between countries thanks to a new agreement between AUSactive and NZREPS.

The new registration benefit gives registered exercise professionals who move across Australasia the opportunity to transfer the remaining term of their current AUSactive or NZREPS membership.

Advising that the new registration benefit between both industry associations will ensure exercise professional could continue to take full advantage of their membership even if they relocate,

AUSactive Chief Executive, Barrie Elvish stated “we know a lot of people move between Australia and New Zealand and from an exercise industry perspective our industries are very complementary to each other.

“This new benefit between AUSactive and NZREPS means members can continue to take full advantage of member benefits and support for the full term of their current memberships in either country.

“Making it easier for our members to connect with the industry and receive support when starting a new job in New Zealand is important, it can mean the all the difference when finding your feet at a new job.”

NZREPS Registrar Stephen Gacsal said the launch of the new benefit provided peace of mind to members, both financially and professionally.

Gacsal added “connecting with other people in your industry can often be a hurdle when moving countries.

“This Trans-Tasman membership portability means members can jump right into networking and other industry events runs by either AUSactive or NZREPS.

“The great news is that any member considering moving countries has the peace of mind their full current period of registration can be 100% utilised and recognised.”
