Purpose

To clarify that the onus for payment of subscriptions is on members

Policy

31 January is always the due date for annual subscriptions. The onus is on members to pay by the due date.

The club will send invoices to the most recent email address that a member has provided to ProAcct. If a member has not received their invoice by early January, they need to contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. at Proacct (03) 9880 9600.

1 February: a late fee of $25 will apply to all outstanding accounts. Not receiving an invoice is not a valid reason for being excused this fee

1 April: an additional late fee of $25 will apply to all outstanding accounts. Not receiving an invoice is not a valid reason for being excused this fee

 (It has been customary for accommodation vouchers to be provided to adult members who paid by 15 January. The same onus applies to this bonus. Early payment vouchers will not be offered after 2021.)

Members cannot make bookings until subscriptions (and any other amounts owing) have been paid. Bookings for members open on 1 February. Payments may take a few days to be received and recorded in the booking system.

Review

This policy is subject to Committee review from time to time.
