How to join the MCC membership waiting list

In order to be placed on the MCC membership waiting list, the candidate must complete a nomination form and submit it to the club with an accompanying fee of $135 (incl. GST).

Nomination forms require the signature of both a proposer and seconder that must be Full members of the Melbourne Cricket Club.

Unfortunately, the MCC does not accept nomination applications via email or forms that have been scanned or photocopied. We require the original copy of the form with original signatures. Forms may be posted to the Club at the address listed below. Alternatively, you can drop the forms into the Club at Membership Services via Gate 2 of the MCG.

Postal Address
Melbourne Cricket Club
PO Box 175
East Melbourne, VIC, 8002

In accordance with the club rules, it is the responsibility of the candidate to obtain two Full members to propose and second their application. Restricted and Provisional members are not permitted to propose or second nominations.

Please note, no additional fees will be incurred until an offer of membership is made.

Full members are able to propose or second a maximum of 4 nominations per membership season.

Payment methods

Please note that when a nomination form is sent in the post, payment can be made with credit card (MasterCard or Visa only) or via cheque or money order made out to the Melbourne Cricket Club.

If paying in person, please note the MCC is a cashless venue. 

If you require any further information, please email the club.

How long must I wait to be a member?

The committee determines the number of candidates it can offer Full, Restricted and Provisional membership in June/July of each year.

Due to numerous variable factors that are taken into consideration when determining new member intakes each year, it is not possible to estimate exactly how long a candidate on the waiting list will have to wait before they are offered membership. However, we do know the nomination date of the latest candidates elected to membership in our most recent intake.

2024/25 Membership Intake

The MCC Committee has confirmed the membership intake for the 2024/25 season.

The Club proposes to elect to Full membership existing Restricted members nominated on the waiting list from November 1, 1992 to January 31, 1993 inclusive.

Existing Provisional members nominated from February 1, 1999 to January 31, 2001 inclusive will be upgraded to Restricted membership.

Waiting list candidates nominated from February 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007 inclusive will be offered Provisional membership.

The waiting list, therefore, will consist of candidates nominated from January 1, 2008 to today.

Those elected in the new intake will receive an offer of membership in mid-July, 2024.

Special offers for Waiting List Candidates

Waiting list candidates are eligible to receive special offers to attend events inside the Members' Reserve. Please ensure your details are updated so you don't miss out.
