Financial assistance

Help with your membership fees

We're able to offer a reduced membership fee to members in specific circumstances so they can continue to access our member benefits and services to support their work, careers and continuing professional development (CPD). Reduced rates may be available to those members who are eligible via CIPD Registers. Acceptance onto a register is at the discretion of CIPD. Membership rates are subject to change.

Reduced membership rate for members aged 60 or over

If you are aged 60 or over you can apply to be placed on our retired register and receive full member services for a reduced subscription fee. This would be £72 for the first 5 years, and £36 thereafter.*

You're not in paid employment.
You're aged 60 or over.
You are of any age and have certified permanent incapacity to work because of ill health.

This benefit is not available to Affiliate Members.

*Fees are subject to change as part of the CIPD's annual fees review.
