Membership Renewal Guide

Renewal FAQ

How do I log in to the SPD?

  • Some members have created an independent account with Service New Brunswick (SNB) for access to the online renewal system. If you created an SNB account, please use this login information to renew online.
  • Some GNB or RHA employees may use their existing work username and password to access the renewal system.

If you already created an account with SNB, you will need to use the username and password you created with Service New Brunswick in order to log into your SPD account OR use your existing SNB username and password to access your SPD account.

If it’s your first time creating your SNB account, please visit the following link. After you are finished, you will receive a 9-digit account number. Please inform the Association of this number in order for us to activate your SPD account.

Once your account has been activated, you will be able to log in to your SPD account and renew your membership online.

What if I'm on a leave of absence?

  • Members who will not practice on April 1, 2024, while being on leave may renew as non-practicing members.
  • Members who are on leave but wish to continue using the social worker title or perform functions that fall within the scope of social work (i.e., if required to appear in court on a work-related matter) may renew under the practicing category of membership.

What if I'm returning from a leave of absence?

Members on maternity, parental, or long-term disability leave of 6 months or more between April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024, may be eligible for a reduced practicing membership rate of $204.50 for the registration year they are returning to work (the time spent on leave must be consecutive for the
reduced rate to be applied).

Members who are on leave must also ensure to pay any remaining dues to upgrade to a practicing membership, if applicable, prior to their return to work.

Members who are on leave must complete and send the Verification of return from leave form prior to their return to work.
