Tens of thousands of MCC members will be required to update the photo used on their membership card this summer as part of a program that will ultimately involve re-issuing a newly designed card.
The club progressively introduced photo identification on membership cards from 2004. Many members’ photos have since aged to the point where they may no longer provide our event staff the ability to perform a suitable visual identity check.Members with a photo on their membership card that is seven years old or more have been contacted via email or letter with detailed instructions as to how to submit a new photo.
Those people who have more recently become members do not need to take any action at this time.
This is a major initiative being undertaken in partnership with Australia Post. Members have the option to complete the photo update at an Australia Post outlet or in person at the club office during business hours or on event days. Please note that delays can be expected if completing on event days.
There is no fee associated with completing this process.
Members will not receive a new card immediately after their photo has been updated. Please retain your current membership card for access to the Members Reserve until notified by the club.
