Why your membership matters — Renew for 2026–27
ASA has officially launched its 2026–27 membership renewal campaign, inviting members to reflect on the impact of their membership over the past year — and the importance of staying connected in the year ahead.
As the peak body for sonographers, the ASA recognises the collective strength of the profession through our members and the tangible outcomes we have achieved. Over the past 12 months, ASA has represented members in key policy discussions, expanded member resources, and brought the community together through a strong program of events. These efforts have helped members navigate change, stay informed, and remain connected to a trusted professional network.
