The CCNA encourages you to use its 'big vision' THEMES - to facilitate a change in the way Australians celebrate:

• "Let the celebration be your gift"
• "Add  a ceremony to the celebration"
• 'Have a party with a purpose"
  helping you to
• promote quality time for families and friends
• support democratic principles and respect for all others without discrimination
• promote courtesy, creativity, cooperation for harmonious relationships between all Australians via all types of ceremonies and celebrations

• Your efforts are an investment in your present and future celebrancy practice
• By working together, you can save money and learn new knowledge and skills
• When you do the promotion, you gain a higher public profile, and generate more word of mouths referrals
• Word of mouth is one of the most powerful tools for gaining referrals and securing bookings
• More ceremonies means more work for everyone (NB there is a limited number of weddings to be shared amongst marriage celebrants - now an average of less than 7 weddings per celebrant per year)

YOU CHOOSE what you need to pay.

• You 'get what you pay for' .. that means a standard entry will give you lots of information and access to our popular Daily Forums, but it would be naive to expect much more, unless you are living in a country area
• Here you pay with your time as well as your dollars
• A Deluxe listing is likely to be more effective (a picture tells a 100 words), and gives the CCNA more funds with which to develop new resources
• You choose what you need - ask little as $ 59.50 pa or over $ 200 pa - depends on your subscription level and fees for additional services
• Taking up other options will bring you other benefits, if not immediately, then as your celebrancy practice develops.
• If price is an issue, after the first year, you may pay half-yearly fees.
• Your subscription may cost you in some ways, but if you embrace our network as an active member, CCNA subscription can also save you $$$ and frustration in other ways
