Becoming a Member
Membership to MUMC is open to everybody, students and non students alike. If you're interested in the club, but not sure if you wish to join, or if you have any questions, come along to one of our weekly tuesday meetings at the clubrooms. We'll be happy to show you around and answer your questions.
Benefits of Membership
Participation in trips, access to the clubrooms, discounts at outdoor gear stores, subscription to our magazine The Mountaineer, and access to an extensive collection of gear at cheap hire rates. Read on about membership benefits.
Membership Dues
The 2025 annual dues for the club are:
- $30/year for University of Melbourne Students
- $102/year for Non Students
- $60/year for Non University of Melbourne Students
- $30/year for Valuable Members
Membership is valid for one calendar year starting on the first day of March and ending on the last day of February immediately upon payment. Applications received after November 30th carry over to the following year, i.e. if you join in December 2024, your membership will be valid until February 2026.
Valuable Membership
MUMC highly values the diverse expertise and dedication of its non-UoM student and non-student members, particularly those active in the club (i.e., serving on Committee or active leaders), those involved in Bush Search and Rescue (BSAR), and experienced individuals who are able to significantly contribute to the club's culture.
Valuable membership falls into three sub categories:
- Bush Search and Rescue (BSAR)
- Individuals with extensive experience in the activities offered at MUMC
- People who have contributed to the development and leadership of MUMC
Current and prospective MUMC members can apply for Valuable Membership via our website when they join MUMC. All individuals applying for valuable membership will be required to include a response as to why they warrant valuable membership. This will be assessed by the Executive Committee.
For detailed information about valuable membership eligibility and the application process, refer to the Membership Fees Policy 2024-2025.
