Associates
- Organisations which subscribe to the Federation’s aims and guidelines, but are not otherwise eligible to become a Corporate Member Club and which have some objectives which are similar to those of the Federation.
- Associate status is not a form of ASF membership and organisations are not ‘affiliated’ with ASF.
- Contact us to become an Associate of the ASF
Individual Membership
- Individual Membership is intended for those such as academics or research fellows, etc, whose role does not fit the club structure.
- To be an individual member, you need to put forward your reasons for this membership to the ASF Executive.
- All cases are treated individually.
- Contact us about being an individual member of the ASF
Friends of ASF
- “Friends of the ASF” serves to disseminate information about current speleological issues to the wider community, increase awareness of conservation campaigns, and promote our vision of being the peak caving body in Australia.
- “Friends of the ASF” are not full ASF members so they may not attend club events or go caving as part of a club because ASF insurance is not part of this subscription
- You can sign up by filling in the form at the link below.
