Is membership of DRTA worth it?

I'm a student studying a Cert 4 in Leisure & Health at Kangan Tafe in Melbourne.

I am thinking of joining DRTA for the student discounts on conferences and workshops.

I am wondering if full membership of DRTA is common in the industry, and if so, why/how?

What are the benefits of membership, do you think?

Hi Michael, I can't say I know for sure if DRTA is worth it but the student discounts on conferences and workshops sure do, and I'm sure that will make annual recertification easier plus all of the networking opportunities!

Hi Michael,

This may be a good question to post on our Facebook Group:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/ActivitiesForSeniors/

I know there are a number of DRTA members on there.

Good luck with your studies!

Hi Michael

Great question so good to know you have heard about DRTA.

Belonging to your professional body is an important investment. Not only does it show commitment to your profession but as you say gives discounted rates for face to face education and online content.

The volunteer Board also work really hard to represent DTs and RAOs across all the industries we work.

It would be fantastic to see you and your fellow classmates at conference next month & network with other graduates in the field.

Also follow DRTA on Facebook and Instagram for updates etc
