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. 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.

• $97.40 for Competitive (18 years+)
• $69 for Competitive (18yrs and under on 31st December 2024)
• $30 for Non-Competitive (18 years+)
• $40 for Shenton College rowers/coxswains. 
• $10 for Temporary (Learn to Row & Corporate Rowing)

The membership fee will be sent to you as a separate invoice after registration. Full payment MUST be made by APRIL 29, 2024 or you can not row. A payment plan can be requested (4 monthly payments) by contacting our Registrar.  

Please note that we only charge pro rata on a case by case basis. 

Gym membership is included in Ordinary, UWA Student, Other Student and Private Boat Memberships.

Seat Fees: In 2024, racing competitive members must place a $300 deposit for pennant race fees only (Due before Pennant 1, any unused balance will be refunded). This is to reduce the number of invoices members recieve throughout the pennant racing season. Coxes do not get charged race fees. Shenton College rowers have seat fees included in membership cost.
