After very careful review Herefords Australia will be increasing the fees for membership, inventory, registry, and other services, effective 3 January 2023. The increases are in response to the current operating environment and the cost pressures faced by the company.
From next year, the annual fee for Ordinary Membership will increase from $100.00 to $115.00 and Inventory from $30.80 to $33.00.
Membership fees make a significant contribution to meeting the cost of the registry software and hosting the Herefords Australia database. Inventory fees make an important contribution to the general operating expenses of the company and support investments in breed development and marketing. Herefords Australia membership and inventory fees were last changed in 2017.
Ordinary Member benefits include unlimited access to the Herefords Australia database, free event listings, access to complimentary promotional materials, twice yearly magazine, e-newsletters, and technical support. Herefords Australia inventory fees are charged per female and are inclusive of any transfers (which is not the case with some other breed societies).
We thank you for your understanding given the changing environment in which we operate, as we work to continue to promote the Hereford breed and support our much-valued members.
