If you are a concession card holder (student of pension card holder) you will be eligible for our concession rate. If you join for three years you will be eligible for a discount of up to 10%.

I have lost my membership card. How can I replace it?

Please email your name and membership number and we will arrange for a new card to be sent to you.

Can I cancel my National Trust membership?

You can cancel your membership at any time, but please note that all memberships are non-refundable. We’d therefore recommend continuing to take advantage of the benefits until your renewal date, at which point you can decide to not renew.

If you’d still like to cancel, you can email us at membership@nationaltrust.com.au . Please include your full name, address and member number.
