Member benefits old

AMSRO offers a range of services to its members in key areas of business.

AMSRO contracts companies to assist the association and members in the critical areas of quality assurance, workplace relations and OH&S.

Assistance with the interpretation and application of the Market and Social Research Privacy Principles is also available.

AMSRO is able to leverage the buying power of its member companies to achieve significant group purchasing discounts. These savings for AMSRO members and may more than offset the cost of membership.

AMSRO endeavours to use its buying power to negotiate discounts on products and services that are useful to members. Any discount offer should not be taken to infer AMSRO endorsement of the product or service over others that may be available in the marketplace.
