The Cost of Membership

Annual Fees are $50.00 per member per calendar year, and are payable either by credit or debit card via our member portal, or alternatively you may pay by funds transfer at your local bank or via internet banking. 

Payment by credit or debit card will enable you to sign onto your membership almost immediately, and then allow you to choose your subject choice provided the class is not already full (You can put yourself on the waiting list). There is a minimal charge for use of your credit or debit card.

We are completely run by volunteers, and using the above automated system which is increasingly being adopted by other Australian U3A organisations, will mean much less work for our treasurer, enrolment person, and secretary.
