The Society particularly welcomes young people with an interest in Science, Art, Literature and Philosophy to become Members.
To become a Full Member of the Society, you must be nominated and seconded by a Fellow or a Full Member of the Society (see below 'How to join"). There is an annual membership fee and a joining fee of $25, payable only in the first year of membership. Full members are entitled to use the post-nominal MRSN.

In December 2013, the membership of the Society voted unanimously to establish a Fellowship category of membership to recognise members who are leaders in their field. Fellows of the Society are entitled to use the post-nominal FRSN. Criteria for Fellowship may be found in the Society’s By-Laws.
Associate Membership is available to spouses or partners of Full Members or Fellows and to undergraduate and postgraduate students (aged under 30) of tertiary institutions and to high school students. There is no joining fee for Associate Membership.
A reduced membership rate is available to Full Members and Fellows who certify that they are over the age of 60 and not in receipt of income against which membership fees would be tax-deductible. (Click the link to download the declaration form.)
