Storage and insurance costs are separate to this membership fee. Storage at UWA Boatclub is at the discretion of the Captain.

Coxswain Membership

Available to coxswains for all squads (including Shenton yr10-12). You do not want to row.

Social Membership

Finished our intermediate Learn to Row course and keen to keep rowing? Social membership is for you!  This membership will allow you to row once a week on a Sunday morning and is a great way to continue learning how to row or easing back into the sport. Coaching will be provided by Chris Morley. Please pay the senior non-competitive registration when signing up and check the "Social" box in the discount and squad fields when completing the form. 

Junior Membership

If (your child) is a Shenton College rower, then this is the membership for them! Please visit the Shenton page for further details and information. 

Important: You can choose a "Racing Competitive" membership type or a "Non-Competitive" membership type. This only changes the Rowing WA fee you are charged at registration not the club membership fee. If you wish to upgrade to competitive down the line, you are welcome to. 

Fees

At Registration, the Rowing WA fee is an upfront payment. All displayed fee's are inclusive of the transaction processing surcharge.

• $131.13 for Competitive rowers/coxswains (18 years+)
• $93.40 for Competitive rowers/coxswains (18yrs and under on 31st December 2027)

Club Membership Fees

The membership fee will be sent to you as a separate invoice after registration. Full payment MUST be received by the due date or you can not row. A payment plan can be requested (4 monthly payments) by contacting our Registrar however this is not an offer of partial or pro rata membership, full payment is expected. The only exception, as we are a student club, is to UWA exchange students who are only in Perth for one semester. 

Seat Fees: If you nominate to race you will be charged race entry fees (seat fees) as set out below. This is in addition to your annual club membership fee. In 2026, racing competitive members must pre-pay their State Championship seat fees, and be up to date with all other fee payments in order to compete at pennant regattas. This is to reduce the number of overdue/unpaid invoices at the end of the pennant racing season. Coxes do not get charged race fees. 

* Seat fees are per event, not per race ie. if an event has heats, semis, and finals, the seat fee is only paid once.
