Membership & Subscriptions

  • 2025 Membership Model

    The BEAQ has identified a need to modify our membership structure following a recent review conducted by Education Queensland regarding the appropriate and ethical use of public resources. We have designed a new model that allows individuals to join the BEAQ and enjoy the benefits of membership, while also enabling schools to support their staff's continuing professional development by purchasing a BEAQ Professional Development Subscription.

    More Information  

  • Membership

    $35.00 annually

    The BEAQ encourages Business Educators across Queensland to become members of the Association. For a small individual contribution, members receive a range of benefits such as access to website resources, regular association emails and discounted registrations for student events.
