House Support System

A $85 “House Support charge” is raised quarterly on all Senior and Associate members accounts (other than spouse - ie, only one set issued per family). This system was introduced to encourage members to use the club’s food, beverage and merchandise services.

After paying the $85 charge off your account, members have six months to redeem the charge by purchasing food, beverage or merchandise from our hospitality area by swiping their membership card. The first $85 charged on the members card account is offset against the house support charge providing the purchases are made within six months of the charge being raised on the member’s account.

The balance of your house support is available on the hospitality POS system the working day after payment, however, purchases will be offset to house support immediately payment of the $85 charge is received, prior 3.00pm.

Payment can be made by credit cards over the telephone, card, cheque or cash in person at the Office between 9 to 5 from Monday to Friday, placed in the Office mail box located adjacent to the office door or via Australia Post.
