NAVA Premium Plus (biannual) - no longer offered

What’s the payment plan?

The Payment Plan temporarily offers Members the option to pay in two instalments of $149 including GST and credit card fees. It was a temporary measure designed to offer helpful relief through the COVID19 crisis. It’s a payment plan, not a six-month insurance policy.

What does this mean?

If you chose NAVA’s Premium Plus Membership Payment Plan NAVA will look after your insurance across the entire year, but make it possible for your premium to be paid across two instalments. It’s our way of helping out by deferring one of the costs of doing business as a professional artist.

How will it work?

The second instalment is automatically processed six-months after the date of the first instalment.
