Fees & Application
Note: OSOT reduced membership fees by 20% across all membership categories for the 2020-21 membership year. This was a one-time reduction to support members in light of the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. For the 2021-22 year, membership fees have returned to the pre-pandemic levels in 2019-20 with no increase this year.
The OSOT membership year runs between October 1st to October 1st. It is a requirement that all members, except Honorary Life members, pay an annual fee in accordance with the fee schedule.
