Is our company a member?

You can check if your company is a member by searching your company or trading name in our Business Directory on the Waikato Chamber of Commerce website.

How much does membership cost?

Membership is calculated based on your number of full-time employees (FTE). Current pricing: 1-20 employees – $350, 21-40 – $700, 41+ – $1,400 (GST exclusive).

Can everyone from our company have a login? How do I get it?

Yes. The primary contact can log into the Members Portal and add employees so each person can create their own login. If you need help, email info@waikatochamber.co.nz.

Can I promote my business, service or events through the Chamber?

Yes. Members can promote through the Members Portal (Member-to-Member Deals, Hot Deals, Market Space) or book a paid EDM sent to our database at member rates.

Do you certify export documentation (e.g., Certificates of Origin)?

Yes. We provide both manual and electronic certification services. To set up an export documentation account, email info@waikatochamber.co.nz.

Is this an individual membership or business membership?

Memberships are for businesses — from sole traders to large corporates. All team members can attend events and access benefits under one membership.

Can I still join if I don't have a business?

Yes. You can join as an individual under Category A membership.

What do I get for being a member?

Members enjoy free and discounted events, training, networking opportunities, marketing exposure, and access to a supportive local business community.

What should I do after joining the Chamber?

Get involved! Attend events, connect with other members, and make use of our resources. The more you participate, the more value you’ll gain from your membership.

How do I pay my annual membership fees online?

Follow the payment instructions on your invoice or log in to the Members Portal to pay via the Billing tab. If no invoice appears, your account is up to date.

How can my company sponsor a Chamber event or programme?

We welcome sponsorship enquiries! Please email info@waikatochamber.co.nz to discuss available opportunities and tailored partnership options.
