A Registered Landscape Architect (RLA) member may be granted leave from the full membership for maternity or paternity leave, study leave, periods of no paid employment, financial hardship, or other similar circumstances.
Leave applications are valid for one financial year only. Please check-in with AILA every six (6) months to confirm your situation has not changed and you are not in a position to continue your financial membership.

The maximum term is two financial years (24 months).
