Multiple Club memberships
AusCycling allows you to be a member of as many clubs as you want.

After you've purchased your membership, you're free to join as many additional clubs as you want! More details at Club Add-On.
Family memberships
Families can apply for a discount prior to joining/renewing. Details can be found at Family Memberships.
