Overseas Membership

Overseas membership is a holding membership available to members who are residing outside Australia. It allows eligible members to retain their place in the Club at a reduced annual subscription rate while they are overseas.

Who is Eligible?

To be eligible for Overseas membership, you must meet all of the following criteria:

  • Be currently residing outside of Australia.
  • Have departed Australia prior to the start of the membership season (September 1).
  • Submit your application using the Overseas Membership Online Form.

How to Apply

To apply for Overseas membership, you must provide the following:

  • A valid overseas residential address and your preferred postal address (this can be an Australian address).
  • Your departure date from Australia and estimated return date.
  • Supporting documentation confirming your overseas residence (e.g. utility bill, lease or rental agreement, employment contract), dated within the past month.

Once approved, your membership will be placed on the Overseas list and your membership card will be deactivated for the duration of your time abroad.

Temporary visits to Australia

MCC Overseas members may regain temporary access to Club facilities and entitlements when visiting Australia for up to six consecutive weeks.

To activate your membership during your visit, complete the form below and attach a copy of your flight itinerary showing both your arrival and departure dates.

Once verified, your membership will be reactivated for the duration of your stay (up to six weeks). Confirmation will be sent via email with details on access and ticketing.

Returning to Live in Australia?

If you are resuming permanent residence in Australia, please notify the Club as soon as you return by logging in to your account and updating your address and contact details via the Profile page.

Once our records have been updated, we will confirm by email, and a pro rata membership fee will be payable.

Your membership will be activated once payment has been received.
