Registration
2024/25 Season memberships are available now!
For returning members: your 2023/24 Season membership will still last 365 days from the date of purchase. Athletics NSW have migrated existing Athletics Wollongong memberships to ANSW's own "club". If you try to log in to Athletics Wollongong's webpage right now, it will say that you don't have a current membership. If you log into Athletics NSW's webpage however, you will see on your Membership Card that your status is '365 Day' and your club is 'Athletics NSW'. Unfortunately it doesn't list the date your membership expires - only the date your record was migrated (16th July). We've been told that members will receive email alerts when their membership is about to run out; otherwise we can provide this information.
Membership Types & Benefits
Multi-Club Membership is now available.
- For those in 13's and up: They can hold a full competitive membership with up to two clubs.
- Registration with their first club is done via that club's registration portal (i.e. via this page, for AW).
- Registration for their second club is done via application, completing and submitting the form HERE. For AW, this 'second membership' will cost $40.
- For those in 12's and under: They can hold one full competitive membership and a community membership with any number of other clubs
- Registration with their first club is done via that club's registration portal (i.e. via this page, for AW).
- Registration for their second club is done via that club's registration portal; select a Community membership.
The system for 12's and under remains unchanged from last season. For instance, a 10-year-old could join their Little Athletics centre to compete at Zone and Region (AW can only provide this eligibility for those in 13's and up). They may also wish to regularly participate in AW's Wednesday meets though. If they choose a Community membership with Athletics Wollongong in addition to their full competitive membership with their Little Athletics centre, they would be eligible to break AW club records, earn points, win trophies, etc.
For those aged 13 and up (including Masters), a Multi-Club Membership gives these further benefits:
- Athletes can represent either club at higher-level events (details to be specified on entry).
- At State relays, they can compete for both clubs, only not in the same event-age group.

To upgrade your Membership Type during the season, log into your account (via the link at the top right of every page) then select Upgrade in the Membership Status section. You just pay the difference between the two membership prices. Contact the President or Registrar if you have any problems.
SPECIAL - Family Discount
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.
SPECIAL - Uni Students
Going to uni? 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 visit, then the discount will apply to that upgrade cost).
Active and Creative Kids Voucher
School students may use their $50 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.
Membership Guide
Do not photograph
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 an ANSW-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).
