Casual Visitors
Casual visitors pay $3 per day if attending an activity. This ensures you are covered by our insurance. Regular visitors are asked to join the club after the first few walks, as it is a condition of our insurance is that causal members do not attend more than three walks.
Insurance
The club is affiliated with Bushwalking Victoria who provide various membership services including insurance. Club insurance does not include ambulance cover, which remains the individual's responsibility. Ambulance cover is available from Ambulance Victoria and can be accessed through their website here: https://www.ambulance.vic.gov.au/membership/. Unfortunately, children under five are not covered by our insurance and therefore may not attend any activities, except meetings and the end of year celebration. Children over the age of five must be accompanied by their parent or a guardian.
