Paying membership fees
Pay fortnightly by direct debit
Usually, memberships are paid fortnightly by direct debit. You can pay from any of your accounts that allow direct debit, including a credit card account.
Debits are made every second Thursday (or the following business day if it's a public holiday). It may take a few days for the debit to show on your account.
Pay six-monthly by arrangement
You can choose to pay in six month blocks.
Arranging payment
To arrange a fortnightly direct debit or a six month payment, contact customer service at the centre.
If you have any questions about payment, please contact us.
Your obligations with direct debit
You must ensure that you:
- have enough money in your account on the direct debit date, and up to five days after;
- make any changes to your direct debit details at least 48 hours before a payment is due;
- request in writing if you want us to stop your direct debits and give us 14 days' written notice if you want to cancel your membership.
Payment failures
If your direct debit fails we will:
- notify you by SMS, email or post – so make sure you keep your contact details up to date;
- charge a $10.00 administration fee;
- ask you to pay the outstanding amount at your next visit to the centre or add it to your next direct debt.
We will continue to debit your account for any amounts outstanding, after making reasonable efforts to contact you.
Changes to fees and other membership conditions
We will give you at least 28 days' written notice of any changes to membership fees.
We reserve the right to change other membership conditions, including opening hours, services and facilities.

You will pay $5.00 per week while your membership is suspending.

You will not pay any fees during a medical suspension.
