student membership

ASA membership is free to student sonographers currently studying accredited programs in Medical Ultrasound in Australia.  The programs must be accredited by the Australasian Sonographer Accreditation Registry (ASAR) and individual proof of enrolment will be required on submitting your student membership application (PDF 279.92 KB).   Student members can also take out optional insurance cover under the ASA’s Professional Indemnity, Legal Benefits and Public Liability Insurance (PDF 156.64 KB).  The ASA strongly recommends all sonographers including students protect themselves against risks by holding cover independent of the cover held by their employer.
