Officials, coaches and volunteers, not competing
$0
No charge
If you are an official, coach or volunteer in any capacity with QMA and do not intend to compete, you still need to register. There is no cost, and it ensures you are covered by accident insurance.
Gold and Platinum memberships
Queensland Athletics Gold and Platinum memberships are a good option for athletes likely to compete in a number of QA events. For details of the benefits, check the Queensland Athletics website.
Neither option appears on the drop-down menu when you register with QMA. To take one up, register as a QMA member with QA base membership, then email the registrar to request an upgrade.
