Do I Qualify?
The Chartered Accountants (SA) Medical Aid Fund, established in 1951, is a distinctly different scheme “In a Class of its Own” – providing excellent cover, unmatched personal service and support and a real commitment to ensuring that we are here for our members. The benefits offered to its members surpass those of most open schemes, offering some of the richest, tailor-made, healthcare benefits with a holistic healthcare approach combined with an effective preventative wellness programme. CAMAF provides not only rich benefits but also gives comfort to its members owing to the fact that the Board of Trustees is made up of dedicated professionals who place a high value on good corporate governance while ensuring that the scheme retains healthy reserves.
CAMAF is a restricted medical scheme, thus membership is offered to a person who holds or held the qualification:
- Chartered Accountant (South Africa) [CA(SA)]; or
- Associate General Accountant (South Africa) [AGA(SA)]; or
- Professional Accountant (SA); or
- Chartered Certified Accountant; or
- Fellow Chartered Management Accountant (FCMA) or Associate Chartered Management Accountant (ACMA).
Please note: If you are an individual who is engaged in public practice and hold any of the above qualifications, your entire firm must join the Scheme – you cannot join as an individual member.

Individuals who have passed part one of the SAICA qualifying exams, have a valid training contract and are registered to write the second part of the qualifying exam will also qualify as members on condition that proof of exam registration is provided on request.
