Club & Membership Fees

Fee Breakdown (2024 & 2025)

The fees are composed of several components: the CAWA Affiliation Fee, Volunteer Levy, Membership Fee, and Term Fees. The CAWA Affiliation Fee,  Volunteer Levy, and Membership fee are annual payments, while the Term Fees are payable at the start of each term. The breakdown below details the fees based on the class.

Note: Term fees are structured based on the term as a whole, not the number of classes offered.

Fees Explained

Calisthenics Association of WA (CAWA) Affiliation Fee (annual per participant)

• CAWA affiliation fee is an annual payment providing CAWA membership and insurance for performers.
• This fee is invoiced with the Term 1 fee or the first term the performer is enrolled.
• For performers enrolled later in the year (e.g., Term 4), a prorated fee applies.

Volunteer Levy (annual per family)

• Our club is a not-for-profit organisation and relies on members to volunteer.
• Each family is charged a Volunteer Levy at the start of the year.
• This fee will be refunded in Term 4 if a minimum of 3 hours of volunteering for the club is completed.
• Volunteer hours must be endorsed by a Team Manager or Committee member and submitted to the Club Treasurer by the end of Term 3.
• There are a number of volunteer opportunities at various times throughout the year and for more information, please visit the Volunteering page.
