Waggaroos club information

Membership: there are two different levels of membership for Waggaroos.  These are:

• Senior – membership for a single adult
• Junior – membership for a person under 21 years old

Each of the above levels of membership confers membership of the Orienteering NSW and allows the member to compete in State and Australian Championship events and a subscription to the national magazine, The Australian Orienteer, ONSW e-Bulletins and event programs.

2024 Membership fees:

Senior: $45:00 per year (remote membership discount)

Junior (10 to 20): $5:00 per year (remote membership discount)

Junior (<10): $0:00

Family maximum: $100 per year

Note: Due to the current limitations of the membership system in Eventor, in a small number of memberships, the Family Maximum amount (2 Seniors + 2 Juniors 10 to 20) will be exceeded when paying for the individual memberships in Eventor. The excess will be refunded. Once paid in Eventor please email office on admin@onsw.asn.au to request refund. These will then be processed weekly on a Thursday.

All membership applications are processed by Orienteering NSW. To join Waggaroos, please use this Membership link which gives full details of how to join.

Event fees:

There are different fees charged for our Summer Series events and the Bush events.  From the commencement of the 2023/24 Summer Street, all events fees will vary depending on the status of a competitor as a Club Member or Non-Member.  This change is to cover the event levee structure imposed by Orienteering NSW on our events.
