through the ASA’s mailing service. The information is organised into the following categories: • What is the ASA Mailing Service? |
What is the ASA Mailing Service?
The ASA Mailing Service is the way to access ASA members. It gives the advertiser the only DIRECT ACCESS to all the Audiologists who are members of the ASA within Australia. It is the ideal way to advertise vacancies, career opportunities or products (conditions apply) directly to your target market. Even if you advertised in every major newspaper in every state, there is no guarantee of reaching such a specific market - and can you imagine the cost?
By using the ASA Mailing Service you can access all financial members of the ASA. All members must be qualified Audiologists and the mail out material is posted to the address on the ASA’s membership database.
Mail outs can be organised via the ASA Mailing Service Booking Form.
Subject to advertisers’ requirements, there are 2 scheduled mail outs per month on approximately the 15th and 30th – however we reserve the right to change these dates where necessary. Deadlines for submissions to these mail outs are the 10th and 25th of the month. If you wish to send material at other times please enquire as this can be organised without difficulty. However, an "exclusive mail out" surcharge of 10% will apply.
The next scheduled mail out will be: Friday 17th September 2010.
The deadline for submission to this mail out is: Wednesday 15th September 2010.
Advertisers can submit the material of their choice, however all items included in a mail out are subject to the approval of the ASA. It is a condition of using the service that all employment advertising include the following statement: All applicants must be, or eligible to be, a Full member of the Audiological Society of Australia Inc. This statement must be contained within or at the end of the body of your text, and must be the same size (or larger) than the majority of the text. The ASA does not endorse any advertised material and no statements implying such can be included in material. Advertisers are limited to 1 single sided A4 b/w insert as the standard. However, multi-page, colour or other special requests may be accommodated but will be subject to additional costs.

Can the cost be shared with multiple advertisers?
The ASA will allow up to 4 single A4 inserts per mail out only. In any instance where there is more than 1 insert the POSTAGE COST ONLY will be shared equally among the advertisers. Therefore, where there are 2 inserts the POSTAGE ONLY is divided by 2 and charged equally, where there are 3 inserts the POSTAGE ONLY is divided by 3 and charged equally, and where there are 4 inserts the POSTAGE ONLY is divided by 4 and charged equally. You need to be aware that access to a shared mail out is not guaranteed and you will be quoted a full Postage Price for Single access. We endeavour to share postage when possible if this has been requested.
The time taken to process and mail will vary. The specific postage date will be indicated clearly on the approval form that is faxed to all users of the service. This timing does not include the time taken for Australia Post to deliver to your door. The ASA takes no responsibility for Australia Post delivery schedules once we have delivered to the post as indicated on the approval form. It has been the ASA’s experience that Australia Post delivery times will vary from 1 to 5 days depending on the postage location. This should be taken into account when putting closing or valid dates on any advertised materials.
Can advertisements be emailed or placed on the ASA website?
The ASA does not offer an online or email advertising service under commercial arrangement. However, in some instances, advertising material that has been distributed Australia wide may be shown on the ASA website. This must be viewed as a “value ad” to the service and not as part of the commercial arrangement. The material placed at the website is under the sole discretion of the ASA and no further correspondence will be entered into.
• The ASA reserves the right to include its own printed matter in any ASA Mailing Service (whether single or shared) at any time without notice unless the “exclusive mail out” surcharge has been applied.

The ASA accepts no legal liability should any action arise from material distributed using the ASA Mailing Service. All enquiries will be promptly directed to the commissioning advertiser and the ASA will engage in no further correspondence in such matters.
• The ASA accepts no responsibility for errors in content once the ASA Mail Out Service approval form is signed by a representative of the advertiser. By signing the approval form, the advertiser is deemed to accept all the prices, terms and conditions that apply to the ASA Mail Out Service.
