Help me collect some extra post-nominals for cheap!

This probably sounds fairly facetious, but I'm starting to think it would be nice to add a few extra letters after my name. I've got my degrees of course, but wondering how involved it would be to add a few more, so looking for suggestions of post-nominals I can add if possible? Something free or cheap is better, I would prefer not to have to pay hundreds of dollars a year to keep it up. A good example from my past is that I became a JP which only had a once-off cost and was useful to boot!

What post-nominals can I get that fit these criteria?

For reference, I'm an academic with a IT/Business focus who lives in queensland, Australia.

Thanks MeFi! :)

The initials GP usually stand for General Practitioner, meaning a doctor who is not a specialist, but they can also stand for Good Person, and since you are a good person, I am hereby awarding you the title of GP which you may now legally append to your name to impress people. I am also a GP although in my case it stands for Grizzled Person. If you have gray hair, this interpretation might apply to you as well.

First Aid certification? AED (Automatic Electronic Defibrillator) training?
