Student Membership Eligibility and Verification

Last updated: 22 September 2026

• Eligibility: Student Membership is available to full-time students in Australia aged 18 years and above.
• Verification timeframe: After purchasing a Student Membership, you must provide verification of your current student status within 7 calendar days from the date of payment.
• Preferred verification method: Send an email from an email address issued to you by your education provider to both of the following:
  • info@bav.org.au
  • bookings@bav.org.au

  For example, an RMIT student would send the verification email from their RMIT student address, such as jane.smith@rmit.edu.au, to both BAV addresses above.

• Information to include: Please include your full name and the email address used for your BAV membership booking, so that BAV can match the verification to your membership registration.
• If you do not have an education provider email address: You may instead provide either of the following:
  • a copy of your valid student identity card, or
  • an official letter or other confirmation from your education provider showing your student number and the expiry or validity period of your student status or enrolment.
• Protecting your personal information: Before submitting a student identity card or other document, please remove or redact all personal information other than your name, student number and the relevant expiry or validity date.
• Membership confirmation: The discounted Student Membership will only be confirmed once BAV has successfully verified your current student status.
• If verification is not completed: If valid verification is not received within 7 calendar days of the membership payment date, the Student Membership will be invalidated and the amount paid will be refunded.
