How to get a Multi Club Membership:
Three or more in your family to register with Athletics Wollongong? You will get $10 off the price of each membership. Only full, competitive memberships are included in the offer (i.e. neither Trialling nor free/Volunteer memberships are counted). You also must all register at the same time: after you enter the details for your first family member's registration, you will be presented the options of "Proceed to checkout" and "Register another member"; select the latter to continue adding the remaining athletes. Note that the discount is applied at the time of payment, i.e. it's not a reimbursement. Once you're done, if the total is not what you expect, then please let us know so that we may investigate before any payment is made.
Going to uni and new to the area? Want to try track and field? Athletes new to AW and attending Wollongong Uni can contact us for a registration discount code that will take $40 off membership costs (NB - Trialling category will still be $15, but if you wish to upgrade to another level of membership after your trial visit, then the discount offer will apply to that upgrade cost).
School students may use $50-$100 of Active and Creative Kids Vouchers to help pay registration fees. Obtain your Active Kids Voucher number before signing up and then enter it during the registration process. Ensure that is applied before paying; it can't be added retroactively.
2025/26 Red Book still to come. Previous season's guide is available HERE.
During our club evenings, photographs are often taken for historical records of club acivities or club publicity. If you do not wish your photograph to be taken, please speak to the club President to ensure your wishes are complied with.
(Note that the 'New Member' button is for those who haven't joined a NSW Athletics-affiliated club since Season 2018/19 - NOT those just new to Athletics Wollongong. If you're switching from another club, you'll still pick the Returning Member button. Accessing the registration console from AW's site here, alerts ANSW that you're joining Athletics Wollongong and not rejoining your previous club).
